   The long one last "forever" in the sense that the geographic   
   coordinates won't change unless the planet changes and the associated   
   direction and zoom settings ought to last as long as Google Maps. For   
   the short ones you might have to trawl through the menu at top left   
   (or Google with appropriate search terms?) to see if anything is   
   mentioned.
