Tableau to power bi migration. Looking for the following/similar visual to apply using PowerBI

Hi, 

Below are the two tables 1) master table ( from db-only one table) 2) StateDetails(new table created to map state names)
We are trying to migrate tableau report to power bi. Here are the sample visuals and related sample data posted under the visual. 
As per the visual 

1) Could you please help me with how to develop the similar visual with map visuals ( Tried Filled Map), to look similar like Tablueau report. On the below visual I tried tooltip added, when hover over can see the list of details. 
But, as per the tableau report, we need to display the names/values as show in image. (also need to include colors to it) 


2) Could you please recommend any external visual( free- pbi certified ) to use to display the same. 
Mapping: 
Model view:  Map region_name (master) with Region name (Statedetails) >> One tom many relationship


Drag and drop:

State under Location and  Zone Name under Legend for the below visual 



Power BI visual (developed) : Used tooltip to display relevent column data.But, client looking for something similar to tableau.

Hi @puneethjp 

I used the built in Azure map to achieve this:

SamWiseOwl_2-1728907210361.png

 

You may need to turn it on if using it for the first time in settings.

 

It isn't the pretiest but I created a new column called zone name which is equal to zone_name.

I used the Zone name and State as a location and Zone_name as the legend.

Turn on the bubble layer and drilldown to the bottom level.

SamWiseOwl_0-1728907136543.png

I also had to use CountryCode as it didn't do what yours did, presumably because I am in the UK.

Your answers are excellent!
And I would like to share some additional solutions below.
Hello,@puneethjp .I am glad to help you.
Based on your description: you don't have latitude/longitude data, Azure Maps as suggested by SamWiseOwl may be a more flexible option.
I hope the following documentation will help you find the right Map for you in Power BI more quickly

Hello,

You can try using the icon map external visual. It does have a lot of flexibility when producing what you require.
