Guys , does anyone know how to use this node ? node-red-contrib-maps : maps

I am receiving data from an API of a map and its elements , I want to plot it in node red . Could you suggest a way to go about it ?

I will be drawing data from here : [V2 - Flemish Banks Monitoring Network API](https://api.meetnetvlaamsebanken.be/V2-help)

To gain access you will need to create an account here :[https://meetnetvlaamsebanken.be/](https://meetnetvlaamsebanken.be/)

I see that node was last updated 3 years ago, while [this one](https://flows.nodered.org/node/node-red-contrib-web-worldmap) was last updated 3 weeks ago. The maintainer is a chap of some repute in the Node-red community too.

Can you achieve what you are after with the worldmap node? There are several examples built-in to the node and I've seen a few in this forum.
