How we verify this guide

Before this page is included in the public guide directory, its examples are compared with the payload produced by the linked QRFlow generator and with the export and scan-readiness controls available in the current build. Camera, lighting, paper, print size, and destination apps can still change the result, so important print runs should always be tested on the final material and real devices.

Best input to use#

  • Apple Maps share link (most accurate pin)
  • Address / place name (fastest)
  • Coordinates (lat,lng) for parking/pickup points

Examples (copy/paste)#

Coordinates: https://maps.apple.com/?ll=37.3349,-122.0090
Query: https://maps.apple.com/?q=Apple%20Park
  • Add a label like “Scan for Apple Maps”.
  • Use high contrast and keep a clean quiet zone (don’t crop the QR).
  • Print larger for signage and scan-test from the real distance.

If scans fail, use the QR not scanning checklist.
