Custom map not loading!

Hi!

 

I am trying to import a shape file with Sierra Leone's 14 districts. The file can be found here . Im trying the following:

 

1) Download the ESRI shape file format

2) Transform the files into topoJSON using mapshaper

3) Set my location (district names of Sierra Leone)

4) Add map in topoJSON

 

 

 However, in the canvas, the map is still the US one....

And I can't not see the map keys.

 

Is there something that I'm missing? What would be the best way to effectively import ths shape? I tend to work in countries like Sierra Leone, and finding a correct method would help me a lot.

 

Thanks

According to your description above, I just tested it on my environment, and it works all fine for me.
