I found a way to do this:
Step 1: follow all the steps on Perspective Map - Adding GeoJSON Shapes - Ignition User Manual 8.1 - Ignition Documentation but be sure to leave the array that contains all the Longitude and Latitude coordinates blank
Step 2: once you've bound the file and all the drop downs are in the correct spots remove the binding to the webdev file
Step 3: drill down till you find the ''Coordinates tab" and perform a named query binding on it to return your geolocation data of interest and be sure the return type is set to data-set
Step 4: Make a scripting transform on the coordinate binding and read the following posts
As of right now this seems to work. If there is any change or if I find a better way I'll update this post
