Will it open Google Maps or Apple Maps?

Whichever is set as default on the user's phone. iPhones default to Apple Maps; Android defaults to Google Maps. Both apps recognize the same QR format.

What's most reliable: address, place name, or coordinates?

Coordinates. Address text can be ambiguous; venue names depend on the maps service indexing them. For mission-critical pins (event venues, emergency assembly points), use lat/long.

Can it open driving directions automatically?

Most apps open the location in 'Lookup' mode rather than 'Directions'. The user taps Directions themselves. Some Google-Maps-formatted URLs can pre-open directions; behavior varies by phone.

Will it work offline?

The QR will scan offline, but the maps app needs internet to render the map. Pre-cached map tiles in some apps allow limited offline lookup.

Location QR codes open the user's default maps app to the encoded place — an address, a venue name, or raw coordinates. Wedding invites, conference programs, retail-store directories, and emergency information all benefit from one scan getting the user to the right pin.
