What is a Location QR code?
A location QR code encodes geographic coordinates using the geo format. Scanning it opens the phone's default map app at that exact point, ready for directions, so visitors reach your store, venue, or meeting spot without typing an address or guessing which of several branches you mean.
How Location QR codes work in Crafty QR
Static or dynamicIn the Crafty QR builder you can drop a pin on the map or search a place by name, and the latitude and longitude fill in automatically. A static location code writes those coordinates into the pattern, so any camera opens the map instantly and the code never expires. You can also make it dynamic, which encodes a short craftyqr.com/r/ link that opens a Crafty QR page with a directions link and records each scan, so you can move the pin later or count how many people looked up the address.
