From the dev team:  
Best option is to roll your own GeoJSON. First start by creating a static dataset that works how you want on the Perspective Map component (instructions at the end of the [document](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/uploads/short-url/nToCmeQBnilKMLDMmFGUz2JJOfS.pdf) I posted). We can separately deal with the problem set of dynamically generating the GeoJSON in the appropriate format (queries, scripting, transform, http binding, etc).

The Perspective Map component does not currently support “styles”. There is an active ticket (IGN-3354) to improve the map component, work not to start before 1Q22. If you email me a business case tied to customer examples I can get the support and requirement “ask” into the ticket. This ticket should include support for KML and GPX conversion to GeoJSON.
