I have had a map addon, cannot remember the title, that even allowed me to view the people I was ignoring.

It is
impossible for an addon to display where a person is on the map unless one of two conditions are met:
1. The player is in your party or raid, or
2. The player is using an addon compatible with yours that sends out location data.
Whatever map addon you had, you are either mistaken in that it shows your ignored players, or those ignored players are broadcasting their position via an addon identical to or compatible with your own. Or possibly it was from waaaaaay back in the days, and Blizzard actually sent position data then. They haven't for at least a few years now though.
The reason I say it is impossible is because Blizzard doesn't send out information about where players are to other players with the exeption of party and raid members. Even if you got an addon that would hypothetically accept all guildie position data and display it on your map, it still wouldn't work simply because the data - doesn't - exist.
