This one is gltiched. For some reason it would not register the URL's location being in Libya, but instead just stayed as the USA under the "Country" option. So according to the site this has now location now. This one can be deleted. I'll try to upload a new one with a URL that hopefully works!

Since it stayed as the USA in the "Country" option, I manually set it to Libya. I can see by clicking the map, it guides you to the right location, but it just doesn't register it is located in Libya here on the site. All the other maps I have done today have worked perfectly so I don't understand how this one all of a sudden glitches.

I believe the city and country fields are automatically filled in based on information posted on nearby existing maps. This maps has no nearby maps, and that is probably the reason it didn't work.
