My office put up signs with a giant QR code and "Lost?" The QR code links to a web page with a map.

  Why not just post the map?
  • marpstar 11y ago
    Because you can't take that map with you.
    • simbas 11y ago
      no but you can take a picture of that map

        However you can't zoom, adjust layers, and make queries of a picture of a map. Ideally you would have both. Print the map... Put a QR to the enhanced digital version in the corner.

    I assume it was because QR codes are futureish and someone claimed this was innovative

    Because the map might change in the future. You can keep the link the same, but update the content.
    • azinman2 11y ago
      Or print a new map?
  • jamiesonbecker 11y ago
    Or a short URL to the map.

    Because maps often need updating. What you're saying is kind of like saying "why have a link when you can just copy the page directly?"
