Hi forum,

I am learning to use [@flowfuse/node-red-dashboard](https://flows.nodered.org/node/@flowfuse/node-red-dashboard).

I tried following these two tutorials:

- [UI Template Examples | Node-RED Dashboard 2.0](https://dashboard.flowfuse.com/user/template-examples.html#world-map)
- [Mapping location data within Node-RED Dashboard 2.0. • FlowFuse](https://flowfuse.com/blog/2024/05/mapping-location-on-dashboard-2/)

but always hit the same problem, i.e when I load [http://localhost:1880/dashboard/worldmap](http://localhost:1880/dashboard/worldmap) the browser would not display the map and instead displayed "too many redirects". And I see this in the log:

```auto
18 May 22:06:18 - [info] [ui-base:Dashboard] Disconnected DsCeiEivjeDI5LcGAAAD due to transport close

```

If I removed all dashboard nodes including the config nodes, redeploy the flow and load [http://localhost:1880/worldmap](http://localhost:1880/worldmap), it display the map.

Can you help me with what I should check/fix to make the tutorial works?  
Following direction in this thread [Problem node-red-contrib-web-worldmap](https://discourse.nodered.org/t/problem-node-red-contrib-web-worldmap/51168) did not help.

This is my node-red log on first start:

```auto

This is a regression that has been introduced in the current version of the dashboard.

I believe a fix is due very soon, in the meantime you could drop back to an earlier version

I uninstalled @flowfuse/node-red-dashboard@1.24.0  
and installed @flowfuse/node-red-dashboard@1.23.0

Now worldmap can be displayed inside @flowfuse/node-red-dashboard-2-ui-iframe.

Thank you.

Hello,

I can view the worldmap by entering "localhost:1880/worldmap/" in the address bar of a new browser tab.

However, when I use the Dashboard 2.0 - i-frame node and enter "localhost:1880/worldmap/" in the URL field, the dashboard worldmap shows the error: "localhost redirected you too many times".

Versions:  
Worldmap : 5.1.6  
@flowfuse/node-red-dashboard : 1.24.1  
Node-Red : 4.0.9

How can We fix this situation?  
Thank you.

Did you recently update dashboard to v1.24.1? did you restart node-red and refresh the dashboard browser?

Hello Steve-Mcl,  
I updated the Dashboard module. The current version is v1.24.1.  
I also restarted the browser and Node-RED.  
I just noticed a different situation:  
When I open the dashboard in Google Chrome , I get the error:  
"localhost redirected you too many times."  
However, when I open the dashboard in Microsoft Edge, the worldmap displays successfully.

thats sounds like a cache issue. try clearing the other browsers cache for the dashboard.

In dev tools (`F12`)
