Location QR codes turn a physical touchpoint into a direct map destination. A code linked to a latitude and longitude can open Google Maps at the entered point, while an optional place name helps people recognize the destination. This is useful for storefronts, meeting points, venues, and printed directions.
Static means the destination is fixed in the code. If the business moves, the pin changes, or the access point changes, the old code must be replaced with a newly generated one. The steps below cover the complete QREasy workflow without treating a location code as a redirect that can be edited centrally.
Key takeaways
Use verified decimal latitude and longitude coordinates, then confirm the map pin before generating the code
Add a place name for recognition, but do not rely on it to correct an inaccurate coordinate
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.
Test the final artwork on a phone and inspect it from the distance and angle where visitors will scan it
Regenerate and replace the code whenever the destination changes because a static location code cannot be updated in place
What the location QR generator does
QREasy’s location QR generator creates a static code that opens Google Maps at the latitude and longitude entered in the tool. You can optionally add a place name so the map view has a recognizable label. The destination is defined by the coordinate pair, not by a conventional street address alone.
This makes the code different from one that opens a general map, a website, or a contact card. It is designed for a specific point. A visitor can scan it to start navigation, then use the options available in Google Maps to examine the area or begin a route.
Generated destination: the entered latitude and longitude
Optional context: a recognizable place name
Output type: a static QR code
Update model: generate and place a new code after a change
Create the code step by step
Open QREasy’s location tool, enter the destination latitude and longitude, and add a place name if one is available. Check the values carefully, especially the decimal separator, hemisphere signs, and coordinate order. Then generate the static QR code and save the graphic for the intended placement.
Before publishing, scan the generated code with a second phone. Confirm that Google Maps opens at the intended point rather than merely near it, and check that the optional place name appears as expected. If the map lands on the wrong side of a road, correct the coordinates and generate a replacement.
Collect a verified latitude and longitude pair
Enter the coordinates and optional place name
Generate the static QR graphic
Scan the code on a separate phone
Confirm the map destination before publication
Scan this code with your phone camera to open the QREasy location QR code page.
Enter coordinates and a place name accurately
Open Google Maps and find the exact point. Use the map options to obtain its coordinates, then check that they are displayed in decimal degrees and that latitude comes before longitude. If the values use degrees, minutes, and seconds, convert them before entering them in the generator.
Use positive values for points north of the equator and east of the prime meridian, and negative values for the opposite hemispheres. A place name can make the destination easier to interpret, but it is supplementary: the coordinates still determine where Google Maps opens.
Decide whether the pin should represent the main entrance, reception point, meeting area, or another specific position. A registered business address and a visitor entrance may belong to the same place but produce different walking directions. Keep one internal record of the coordinate pair and place name used for every printed code.
Coordinate order: latitude first, longitude second
Format: decimal degrees
Hemisphere: positive or negative values must be correct
Pin purpose: choose the point that best serves visitors
Test, publish, and maintain the code
A correct scanned destination is only half the check; the physical placement matters too. Test the code on the device and connection visitors are likely to use, and inspect it from the distance and angle at which it will be read. A clean, unobstructed position and a code large enough for the intended scan distance are useful practical safeguards.
Place the final graphic on the agreed surface, or include it in a printed leaflet, card, or display, according to the communication goal. Do not send an early test graphic into production. When the file changes, update every published copy so all touchpoints lead to the same verified destination.
Because the code is static, the QR image itself carries the destination. QREasy cannot update that location inside an existing location code. This is why operational changes require a controlled replacement process rather than a small edit in a content panel.
Scan the actual production artwork
Test from the intended distance and angle
Check the final location on another device
Record the approved file, coordinates, and place name
When to generate a replacement
Generate a new code whenever the destination changes. Typical triggers include moving to another address, correcting the pin, changing a place name, altering the entrance or parking access, or deciding that a broader meeting point better represents the site. The trigger is not only a different label; it can be any change affecting where visitors should go.
Label the old and new files clearly, test the replacement, and then swap it into every location where the old code appears. Remove or cover obsolete copies where practical. If several teams print materials, designate one owner and one coordinate record so nobody regenerates the code with conflicting details.
The business moves or the address changes
The map pin or place name is corrected
The entrance, parking route, or meeting point changes
An incorrect or poorly scanning code is found
Generate, test, replace, and verify the new version
Static location codes and dynamic QREasy codes
A static location code is the right fit when the destination should be fixed and printed. Its simplicity comes from the map point being encoded directly; the trade-off is that changing the point requires a new code and a new placement. QREasy does not offer a dynamic version of the location generator.
QREasy’s dynamic QR codes serve a different role in the wider all QREasy QR code generators. They are counted separately from static codes on QREasy plans, where unlimited static codes are included across the listed plan levels and analytics history is provided for dynamic-code activity. A dynamic code should not be described as a location code that happens to be editable.
QREasy also supports contact-focused and web-based journeys through digital business cards for Apple Wallet and Google Wallet and a small website builder. Recipients can review and save contact details or open a QREasy-created website. For further context, see about QREasy and the available website templates.

Frequently asked questions
It opens Google Maps at the latitude and longitude entered in QREasy. You can add a place name for context. Because the code is static, changing the destination requires generating a new code and replacing every published copy.
No. The coordinate pair determines the map destination, while the name helps people recognize it. Verify the pin at street level, confirm the coordinate order and hemisphere signs, and then scan the final code.
No. QREasy has no dynamic location QR code. If the address, pin, place name, or visitor entrance changes, generate a new static code, test it, and replace the old copies.
No. The listed Free, Lite SME, and Business plans include unlimited static QR codes, while dynamic QR codes have separate allowances and analytics history. A static location code should not be counted as a dynamic code.
