How to make it
- In Google Maps, right-click the exact spot (or press and hold on a phone) and click the coordinates to copy them.
- Choose Location above and paste the latitude and longitude.
- Style the code, check the scan test and download it.
- Scan it with your phone and check the pin is in the right place.
Tips
- Check the pin on a map before printing. A small mistake in the numbers moves it a long way.
- Which map app opens depends on the phone’s settings.
- For a link that always opens Google Maps and that you can change later, use a dynamic code with the Location option and type the business name and address.
- Add a frame with "FIND US" so people know what it is for.
Questions
How do I find the coordinates?
Right-click a spot in Google Maps and click the numbers at the top of the menu. The first number is latitude, the second is longitude.
Can I just type an address?
The free static code needs coordinates. A dynamic code accepts a business name and address and opens it in Google Maps.
Can I change the location later?
Not with a static code. Use a dynamic code if the place may change.
