Frequently asked questions
Answers to questions about Google Maps links, Apple Maps compatibility, and offline GPS.
How do I get the link from Google Maps to make a QR code?
Open Google Maps on your phone or desktop, search for your business or venue, tap the 'Share' button, and select 'Copy Link'. Paste that URL (e.g., https://maps.app.goo.gl/...) into the destination URL box.
Will this open Google Maps on iPhone or Apple Maps?
A standard Google Maps share link will open the Google Maps app if installed on an iPhone, or display the interactive web map with an option to open in Apple Maps. If you use raw GPS coordinates (geo:lat,lon), iPhone opens Apple Maps directly and Android opens Google Maps.
Do Google Maps QR codes expire?
No. The QR code is a static link to your Google Maps pin. It remains functional indefinitely without subscription fees.
What should I do for remote venues with poor mobile phone reception?
For rural wedding venues, campsites, or countryside barns, advise guests to scan the QR code before starting their journey. You can also print the exact GPS latitude and longitude alongside the QR code as a failsafe.
