PlusCodes work similar to street addresses. They can help you get and use a simple digital address. They can also help you define a specific location for a conventional address. For example, you can identify different entrances to the same building.

You can use Plus Codes to identify a specific location to receive deliveries, access emergency and social services, or direct people to a location. Since the codes are simple, you can easily share them with others.


While you can share your maps on social media and embed them on your website, what happens when a user wants to open a map in the physical world, for example? Typing a URL on a smartphone is difficult and prone to error; even a simple and friendly URL could be challenging.


You are not limited to just linking a QR code to the map home. You can choose to have the QR code lead to a specific location or to a group of locations on the map. For example, if you are using a QR code for an art walk, you can display a QR code next to each stop which will open that location directly on the map.


The Cleveland Cleveland Arts Event created an interactive map of the Historic Warehouse District. The interactive map provides a self-guided experience of a historical district. Historic Warehouse District Tour. At each point of interest along the itinerary, visitors can scan a QR code to open that location on the map. A voice narration automatically plays with details and anecdotes.


The Frieze Los Angeles contemporary art fair that took place this past February used QR codes to provide attendees with easy access to the fair map. Additionally, retailer booths had QR codes to sign up for mailing lists and receive discount vouchers.


The Avenza Maps mobile app has become the go-to solution for hikers, campers, and outdoor enthusiasts to get accurate and offline-ready maps right onto their mobile devices. By connecting to the Avenza Map Store, users can have instant access to more than one million professionally created maps, including those for national and state parks, trail guides, and topographic charts for many regions all over the world.


To trail users, having digital maps right at their fingertips provides peace of mind, as location and navigation information is always on-hand even where cellular service is unavailable. Access to tailor-made, activity-specific maps also means trail users are provided accurate, relevant information that can greatly improve the outdoor experience. Since many available maps are tailor-made for an individual park or trail system, these maps provide unique or niche information that would be missing from more general mapping apps or alternative web-mapping services. Thousands of maps on the Avenza Map Store are produced by or with the support of managing parks authorities, and these mobile-ready maps will often have the most accurate, up-to-date, and reliable information that park officials want you to have. Having this information not only ensures a safe outdoors excursion, but also provides a recreation user with the right information that can make their outdoor adventure a truly enjoyable experience.


With a growing network of supported parks, the QR code for the Trails project has also made outdoor recreation a more accessible and safe way to get outside. With the wide-spread adoption of social distancing practices, and capacity restrictions in place on many park visitor centers worldwide, the QR code project provides an easy, hands-free way to get a map right on the trail, and without needing to find a tourism center or visit a crowded map-kiosk.


For park management authorities, you may be wondering how your park or trail system can implement QR codes for your maps. Fortunately, the Avenza Maps team has made it easy to implement. First, create a free vendor account on the Avenza Map Store. The vendor account will allow you to share or sell your georeferenced maps with the public. Next, upload your georeferenced park or trail system map onto the Avenza Map Store. Your map will be reviewed and verified by our Map Store team to ensure the map is georeferenced accurately and formatted properly. After this, the Avenza Maps team will provide you with a custom QR code with a guidance package showing how to use it. Simply print and post the QR code within your park and you are done! Best of all, this QR code will always be associated with your Map Product, meaning you can continue to update and revise your digital maps without needing to reprint or post a new QR code.


As one of the cornerstones of the U.S. Geological Survey's (USGS) National Geospatial Program, The National Map is a collaborative effort among the USGS and other Federal, State, and local partners to improve and deliver topographic information for the Nation. It has many uses ranging from recreation to scientific analysis to emergency response.


The National Map Viewer (TNM Viewer) is the one-stop destination for visualizing all the latest National Map data. It uses easy to navigate foundational base maps and makes it simple to interact with all our data themes to create your own map.


The National Map (TNM) Liaisons partnership network cultivates and maintains long-term relationships with partners and develops agreements for The National Map and other initiatives that support USGS science.

Historically, USGS topographic maps were made using data from primary sources including direct field observations. Those maps were compiled, drawn, and edited by hand. By today's standards, those traditional methods are very expensive and time-consuming, and the USGS no longer has funding to make maps that way. A new USGS topographic map series was launched in 2009 and branded " US Topo ." Though...
