You might want a label on your form field. I wasn't sure what to put in there to move the spill. "Location:" would work.

For anyone in the UK, this is more like "Visualise the Deepwater oil spill over your part of the country"

Hey, I very nearly don't have to imagine it. I can practically live it. :D

Type in Houma, LA, USA in the box next to "Move the Spill"

I'm in the minority that cares deeply because it's something like 50 - 100 miles southeast of my house.
