Sharing a destination becomes easier when visitors can scan a code instead of copying an address. With QREasy, a location QR opens Google Maps at a fixed latitude and longitude, with an optional place name for context. The important limitation is that this is a static code: the destination does not change automatically, and QREasy does not provide a dynamic location QR. Plan the final point carefully, then replace and test the code if the place moves.
Key takeaways
The QREasy location generator creates a static QR code that opens Google Maps at entered coordinates
Latitude and longitude set the destination; the place name is optional context rather than a separate routing layer
Many professionals struggle to choose between a microsite and a landing page. This guide explains the key differences and shows why a microsite is often the better fit for building a simple, professional, and always-on digital presence.
QREasy helps you reduce follow-up friction in two ways: let people save your contact instantly to their phone contacts with a vCard QR, or keep your micro page in Apple Wallet or Google Wallet so you can open it anytime and let people scan through to your fuller digital identity.
Prepare accurate property photos, descriptions, and viewing access steps for a QREasy real-estate microsite, separating confirmed details from items to verify at the viewing.
A microsite is a compact, focused digital presence built to explain who you are, what you offer, and what people should do next. This guide explains the definition, benefits, examples, and differences between micro pages, microsites, landing pages, and full websites.
A link in bio page is useful when you mainly need a simple hub for social links. A micro page or microsite is the better choice when you need a stronger branded presence that explains who you are, what you offer, and what people should do next.
A location change requires generating a new code and replacing every physical or digital copy in use
QREasy has no dynamic location QR code, so an existing static code will not redirect to a new address
Create a static location QR code
Begin in QREasy’s location QR generator, where the purpose is to create one fixed map destination rather than a contact card or a website link. Decide on the exact point first: a storefront entrance, reception desk, meeting room, or outdoor spot can each use their own coordinates. The resulting QR is intended for that chosen point.
Collect the latitude and longitude from a reliable mapping service. Copy both values carefully and keep them associated with the place rather than a nearby road junction. Before continuing, check the coordinate order and confirm the point in the mapping service, since one transposed digit can move the map destination materially.
Decide whether the code needs a place name. If visitors should recognize the destination immediately, enter the name people use for it; otherwise, leave the optional field empty. You can also review QREasy’s other QR code generators when the location code is only one part of a wider visitor journey.
Enter the coordinates and place name
Enter the latitude in the latitude field and the longitude in the longitude field. Do not exchange them, add unrelated address text, or use coordinates for a different branch. The generator uses these two values to place the map point, while the optional name helps identify the destination once Google Maps opens.
Use a short, unambiguous place name. A business name, venue name, or recognizable landmark is usually easier to confirm than a long descriptive phrase. If the coordinates identify an entrance or exact meeting point, use the name people will see or hear when they arrive rather than an internal department name.
Review the entry before generating the code. Check that the latitude and longitude land on the intended location, that the name matches that location, and that you have not mixed coordinates from two nearby sites. If the pin looks right in your source map but the place feels wrong, return to the coordinate source and verify the sign and decimal values.

Understand how the static code works
A static location QR is tied to the destination entered when it is created. Scanning it opens Google Maps at that latitude and longitude, and the place name appears as an optional identifier. The QR itself does not update if hours, access rules, or a temporary closure change; any details shown after Google Maps opens depend on that app.
This makes the static code useful for a stable venue, event entrance, or trail marker. It also means the QR is not a substitute for an editable map link: if someone moves the business, changes the event gate, or chooses another meeting room, the existing code still points to the original coordinates. The name in the code does not override those coordinates.
For a step-by-step companion explanation, see the guide to creating an online location QR code. The static Google Maps location guide also covers the fixed-point workflow. The same behavior applies whether the code is printed on a window, placed at reception, or shared as an image. The physical placement changes how people find it, not where the QR sends them.
Replace the code when the location changes
When the location changes, first obtain the new latitude and longitude and confirm them on a map. Then create a new location QR in QREasy and enter the new values and, if useful, the updated place name. Treat this as a new code with its own image and placement; editing your notes about the old code does not alter what it contains.
Replace the old code everywhere it appears. Remove or cover the previous label, poster, tabletop stand, or digital copy, and put the new image in the same location so visitors do not scan a stale sign. If the old code has already been saved on a visitor’s phone, that saved image will continue to represent the former destination until replaced or discarded.
Test the new code before calling the relocation complete. Open it with a phone camera or QR reader and confirm that Google Maps displays the intended point and label. Also inspect the physical placement for glare, obstruction, or a poor viewing angle. A correct code can still fail in practice if the printed area is damaged or hidden.
Static or dynamic location QR codes
The difference is not scanning technology but how the destination is managed. A static code carries one fixed location, so a destination change requires a new image and replacement. A dynamic QR would use an editable redirect that could point to a changed location without replacing the code. QREasy’s location generator does not create that dynamic location type.
This limitation affects planning more than scanning. A shop with one permanent address can publish the static code once, while an organization that rotates between venues should plan for repeated reprinting or digital updates. Anyone expecting a single printed sign to follow several different places will need another arrangement, because QREasy has no dynamic location option to make that redirect.
Plan allowances should not be confused with location functionality. QREasy’s free and listed paid plans include unlimited static QR codes, and plans also list dynamic QR-code allowances, but those allowances do not add a dynamic location generator. Review QREasy plans for current plan details rather than assuming a general dynamic-code allowance changes this location behavior.
Finalize, download and place the code
After the coordinates and optional name are correct, generate the code and use the available download action to save the finished image. Keep the original file unchanged for future placements. If you need to update the destination later, create a fresh code instead of modifying the saved image, because the earlier copy should represent the location for which it was approved.
Place the code where the intended visitor can reach it without help: on a visible counter sign, an event welcome board, a reception card, or a shared digital file. Keep the code large enough for the viewing distance, preserve its edges and contrast, and avoid covering any part with a logo, label, or glare. These practical checks help the scan succeed without changing the destination.
Test the downloaded or printed version on more than one phone when practical. Confirm both the map point and the label, then ask someone unfamiliar with the venue to find the exact point shown. If they land at the correct map location but struggle to identify the entrance, revisit the coordinates or place name before distribution.
Frequently asked questions
It opens Google Maps at the latitude and longitude entered during creation. If you add a place name, it provides an optional label for that map point. The code is static and does not automatically follow a later address change.
No. The location generator requires latitude and longitude, while the place name is optional. Obtain the coordinates from a reliable map source, enter them in the correct fields, and verify that they point to the intended destination before generating the code.
No. QREasy provides static location QR codes only. If the destination changes, generate a new code with the new coordinates and replace the old code at every published placement.
Generate a new static location QR with the revised coordinates and optional name. Test it, then replace the previous code everywhere. Codes already saved by visitors will keep opening the old location unless they are replaced or discarded.
