What is a QR code for geographic locations?

A QR code for geographic locations is a scannable barcode that encodes latitude and longitude coordinates using the standardized geo URI format. When scanned with a smartphone camera, it automatically opens a map application with the exact location pinned, making it easy to share addresses, meeting points, or points of interest without typing coordinates manually.
