Hi,

I noticed that the lifespan of the markers placed on worldmap is about 10 min.  
Is that predefined or is that caused by something specific?

Node Red v2.1.4  
node-red-contrib-web-worldmap v2.23.0

Thanks in advance.

or the user can change it here

or you can set it per marker by setting msg.payload.ttl to a number seconds (ttl = time to live)

feeling a bit stupid not have looked closely to the worldmap properties 🥴

Thanks for the answer and thanks again for the ability to disable the boundary events messages 😉
