Examples (copy/paste)#

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.
