I want users to annotate landform data, such as trees, rocks, water, that is
too detailed to be found on a topo map. I want to be able to create a QR
on-the-fly depending on what area of the map the user selected. Again, look at
walking-papers.org

Just curious, for what purpose? I am aware of how qr codes are used
in virtually anything in japan.
I want to create a similar inventory system for our printed map.
