Filled Map (Different Layer)

Is there any way to add more than one layer in the power bi filled map?

 

Example:  I have two categories (each category represent with a different value ), each zone in the map represented with the 2 categories, I want to have 2 layers for each zone each layer filled with specific color related to the categories values

If I remember correctly, have been down this road quite a bit and the answer seems to always come back to ArcGIS maps.
