Why Are There So Many Location Barcodes on the Invitation?
Location Barcode Function on Invitations

- Avoid wrong address

- Speed up route searches via Google Maps
But unfortunately, not everyone has a QR scanner app or camera that supports automatic scanning.

Common Problems When Scanning Barcodes on Invitations and Their Solutions
Camera Cannot Be Opened
Solution:
- Make sure you give camera access permission in the browser.
- Use a browser like Chrome or Firefox (not the default browser which sometimes doesn't support the camera feature)
Unreadable Barcode
Solution:
- Make sure there is sufficient lighting
- Make sure the barcode is not blurry or damaged.
- Hold the phone steady while scanning.
No Links Appear
Solution:
- Make sure the barcode actually contains a Google Maps link, not plain text.
- Try repeating the process by moving the camera further and further away.
Tips for More Accurate Scanning
Please note the following points to ensure the QR scanning process runs optimally:
- Use the rear camera because it usually has better quality than the front camera.
- Make sure the barcode is visible intact in the camera frame.
- Do not cover any part of the barcode with your fingers or hands.
- Don't rush to press “Scan Now” before the barcode is completely detected.
Alternatives If Barcode Cannot Be Scanned
If the barcode is damaged or unreadable, you can still do this:
- Ask the inviter directly for the location link
- Search for the address written on the invitation manually on Google Maps
- Use a third-party scanner app (if necessary)
But of course, the most practical option is still to use an online barcode scanner tool such as the one available at ajakteman.com.
