How to send JsonResult from a Controller to a View and access it using jQuery?

This is my first MVC project. I am building a Bing Map application (that loads multiple pushpins on the map).

Here's my Index ActionResult

public ActionResult Index(string Id)
{

    // Here is the code to populate the DataSet using Id parameter

    DataTable dtReport = ds.Tables[0];
    List<MapPoint> points = new List<MapPoint>();
    int index = 1;
    foreach (DataRow r in dt.Rows)
    {
        points.Add(GetPointInfo(r, false));
        index++;
    }

    //return the list as JSON
    return Json(points, JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
}

My problem is, when I go to the Index view, all I see is the Json formatted data and the map disappears. I would assume this happens because I am returning JsonResult in the Index ActionResult.

Is there any way I can retain the map on the View and still be able to pass JsonResult to the Index view and access it using jQuery?

Just return the view,and serialize the data to json,then pass the json data to the view. Operate the json data with javascript in the page.
