What happens when someone scans it

The map app opens with a pin on the exact spot. No address parsing, no “did you mean” — coordinates are unambiguous.

What the code actually contains

geo:55.6761,12.5683

A geo: URI — latitude and longitude in decimal degrees, and nothing else.

How to make one

1. 1

   Get the coordinates: long-press the spot in any map app and copy what it shows.

2. 2

   Paste latitude and longitude into the fields.

3. 3

   Style it and check the preflight panel.

4. 4

   Scan once and confirm the pin lands where you meant.

Fields

• lat

  Latitude, decimal degrees

• lng

  Longitude, decimal degrees

Coordinates beat addresses

Market stalls, trailheads, festival gates, a door in a courtyard — the places people actually need finding rarely have a clean street address. Coordinates skip the guessing.

Four decimals is eleven metres

Four decimal places locate to about 11 m, five to about a metre. Copying from a map app gives you plenty; do not trim the digits.

Questions

Which map opens?

The phone’s default handler — Apple Maps on iPhone, Google Maps on most Androids. The geo: format is neutral between them.

Can it start navigation?

It drops the pin; the person taps directions. That is one tap, and it leaves the choice of walking or driving to them.

Can I use an address instead?

Encode a maps URL as a URL code if you must, but coordinates are shorter, service-neutral and never mis-geocoded.
