btw: this file is a SVG-File ...: File:World map (blue dots).svg

Something is telling me that you have forgotten something in your post as I don't see any image or link around "i want to do this map now:"

Unless you are speaking about the svg from wikipedia...
But what do you want to do with it? Change the color of the dots?
If so, when you import the SVG in gimp Uncheck: the "Import Paths"  because we don't need it in this case (and there are more than 11,000 paths in it which could take a while to load)

   

Once imported, in the layer's dialog (AKA layer's stack), click that icon to lock (protect) the alpha channel > To paint the dots, not the transparency.

   

Then just drag and drop any color from the foreground/background color, or use the bucket fill tool

   

Then once happy with a color, do not forget to un-click on the button in the layer's dialog to un-lock the alpha channel if you need to do additional work Wink
