I think you mean 'a little later'. Drop the word 'out' and change 'in' to 'on'. The construction of the sentences is not too good.

An easier way to say similar would be "You can easily find a small nation on a map." If it is a specific map and it has been previously introduced, "...on

Hi, thank you for your answer.
By the way, what I want to say is :
1. Spread a world map.
2. You can instantly find the nation on the map.
3. However, it may take more time to find it because it is a small country.
So, I said "You can instantly or a litte later find the nation on the map."
If it sounds awkward, how can I say it?

How about "You can find the nation on the map within a few seconds or more."?
Actually, no one have to find it so quickly because it is not obligatory.
What I want to express is just possibility. So to speak, in some case, you can find it easily, but in other case, you cannot find it so quickly (because it is a small nation, for example, Fiji, a little island nation).

"You can find the nation on the map within a few seconds or more."
This is fine.
You could also say, "You can find the nation on the map within a few seconds or so."
This is fine.
