What would be the correct json format to import GeoPoints in Parse.com?

Question

I am trying to import a data set into parse.com.com and one of the columns has GeoPoints in it. Parse help shows the JSON format ought to be as follows:

{ "__type": "GeoPoint", "latitude": 64.124596, "longitude": -147.86327 }

However, when I try to import it into the data browser, the validation fails since, it appears, the __type is considered a separate column and since the starting characters are invalid, the import fails.

Can someone please help with the correct JSON import format for GeoPoints into Parse?

Here's how to do it:

{ "results": [
  {
    "name":"Kfar Saba",
    "location": {"__type": "GeoPoint", "latitude": 32.18406, "longitude": 34.91731}
  },
  {
    "name":"Ar'ara BaNegev",
    "location": {"__type": "GeoPoint", "latitude": 32.5, "longitude": 35.1}
  }
}]

What would be the correct json format to import GeoPoints in Parse.com?
