    In the Azure Maps visual in Power BI, you don’t have the ability to add multiple dynamic layers from different tables directly, which is why you only see options like Bubble Layer or Filled Map in the settings. That limitation is the reason you had to combine your customer and service location data into one table and distinguish them by color. If you want to keep them separate, one workaround is to use a Reference Layer, where you prepare your service locations as a GeoJSON file and overlay them as pins on the map while still showing your customer data as bubbles. However, these reference pins will be static and won’t behave like fully interactive data points. If your requirement is to have multiple interactive layers (for example, customers as one layer and service centers as another, both dynamic), then Power BI’s Azure Maps visual cannot do this, and you would need to either continue with your combined table approach or use the ArcGIS Maps for Power BI visual, which does support multiple layers.
