QR Code for Google Maps
Get customers driving to your door with a single scan.
Typing an address into a maps app is easy to get wrong, and a wrong pin sends customers to the back of the building or the wrong street. A QR code for Google Maps opens turn-by-turn directions to your exact location the instant it's scanned, from a flyer, an invitation, or a delivery box. Because the code is dynamic, you can update the destination if you move or open a second location without reprinting, and scan data shows how many people are actually navigating to you.
Why use a dynamic QR code for this
Directions in one scan
Customers get turn-by-turn navigation to your exact pin instead of typing an address that's easy to fumble.
Move without reprinting
Relocate or add a branch and repoint the code so old flyers still guide people to the right place.
See who's on the way
Scan volume and timing show how many people are navigating to you and when.

Before you print it
If your google maps code may ever need to point somewhere else, create it as a dynamic QR code you can edit after printing. The printed pattern never changes; only the destination behind it does. It also means you can track every scan by day, device, and location and see which placement actually worked.
Google Maps FAQ
Does the code open directions or just a map?
Link to a directions URL and it opens turn-by-turn navigation; link to your place and it opens your location pin. Your choice.
Can I change the location after printing?
Yes. If you move or add a location, repoint the dynamic code and every printed copy guides people to the new place.
Which link should I use so directions open in the right app?
Use the share link Google Maps gives you for the place or for directions, since it opens the Maps app on phones that have it and the browser version on those that do not. If a lot of your customers use Apple Maps, point the code at your own short page that offers both. Because the code is dynamic, you can switch approaches later without reprinting.
Can one code handle several branch locations?
A single code goes to a single destination, so for multiple branches either give each location its own code on its own materials, or point one code at a store locator page on your site. We do not detect the scanner's position and route them, so the locator page approach is what handles that. Separate codes have the advantage that you see scans per branch.
Will this code still work next year?
Static codes never expire; they encode your link directly and don't depend on us. Dynamic codes keep redirecting for as long as your account is active, and you can re-point them whenever the destination moves.
