Examples are separate from the default form, so QRFlow will not generate a real QR until you choose one or enter your own content.

Preview

Fill the required field to unlock preview

The QR is not broken; it is waiting for valid content. Use the required field first.

Google Maps preview

Finish the core inputs

Next: fill Google Maps link to unlock the live QR preview.

Printing? Add a short label (caption) near the QR (e.g. “Scan for directions”). It increases scan intent and reduces confusion.

Choose a Google Maps place or directions QR

Use a Google Maps Place link when the scan should open one pinned destination, and use Directions when the scanner should start navigation from their current location. Copy the official Share link instead of a browser address with temporary parameters. After generating, use the rule check for density, contrast, quiet-zone, and print-size risks, then run the camera test on a second phone and confirm the correct place or route in the Maps app or mobile browser. Download SVG and inspect the A4 preview for signs. The rule check cannot verify the live Maps destination for you.

Use Place for one destination and Directions for navigation.
Use the official Share link, then review the rule check.
Camera-test the final route on a second phone before printing.

选择 Google 地图地点或路线二维码

如果扫码后应该打开一个固定地点，请使用 Google 地图地点链接；如果扫码者需要从当前位置开始导航，请使用路线链接。请从 Google 地图的分享功能复制官方链接，不要使用带临时参数的浏览器地址。生成后，先用规则检查发现密度、对比度、留白区和印刷尺寸风险，再用另一台手机摄像头实测，确认地图 App 或移动浏览器打开的是正确地点或路线。标识建议下载 SVG 并查看 A4 预览。规则检查无法替你验证线上地图目标。

固定目的地使用地点链接，开始导航使用路线链接。
使用 Google 地图官方分享链接，再查看规则检查。
印刷前用另一台手机摄像头验证最终地点或路线。
