    No its a satalite image. However your U.S. Army maps are in same system and you can zoom in and draw GPS route on top.

    Procedure
    1) use memory map. http://www.memory-map.com/index.html?http://www.memory-map.com/download_mmnav.htm

    2) download map in jpg

    3) map has to be converted to TIFF to view (so that it displays better)

    4) Calibrate map for long and latitude, It takes 2 minutes as maps are very accurate.

    5) You can joint together 1:250k maps in memory map so you have one 1:250k map of Libya.
