You will often meet a Mapvera map as a QR code on a sign, a poster or a handout. Scanning it opens the map on your phone, and it may open already focused on the very place the code is next to.
Scan the code
-
Open your camera
On most phones you just open the built-in camera app. Some phones have a separate QR or scan option.
-
Point at the code
Hold the camera steady over the QR code until a link pops up on screen.
-
Tap the link
Tap the link to open the map in your browser. There is nothing to install.
If nothing pops up, move a little closer or further back so the whole code is in view, and make sure it is well lit.
What opens
A code might open the whole map, or open it zoomed to one place, or even start a whole walking route. If a route appears, you have scanned a guided tour, see Follow a guided tour. From there you can look around and find your way, see Get around a map and Get directions to a place.
