How to Make an Apple Maps QR Code
To make an Apple Maps QR code, choose an action — search, view a location, or directions — fill in the details, and download the generated code. Scanning it opens Apple Maps to that result. The map link is encoded directly into the QR pattern, so the code needs no service behind it and never expires.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I make an Apple Maps QR code?
Choose an action — search for an address or keyword, view a location by coordinates, or get directions — fill in the details, and download the generated QR code. Scanning it opens Apple Maps to that result on an iPhone, iPad, or Mac.

It can run a search (q), display a specific location centered on latitude and longitude with an optional pin label and zoom, or request directions to a destination with an optional start point and transport mode — driving, walking, or transit. You can also set the map type: standard, satellite, hybrid, or transit.
Does an Apple Maps QR code work on Android?
The maps.apple.com link is designed for Apple devices, where it opens the Maps app. On Android it typically opens the Apple Maps web page. For the widest reach, also offer a Google Maps QR code.
Where do I find the coordinates for a location?
In Apple Maps, drop a pin and open its info to see the latitude and longitude, or copy them from another maps app. Enter them here as "latitude, longitude".
Is the Apple Maps QR code free?
Yes. Apple Maps QR codes are static — the map URL is encoded directly into the pattern — so they are free forever with no watermark, no scan limit, and no expiry. No account required.
