    It is not possible to create the map visual as you describe. There are two workaournds for you.

    1. Create two separate map visuals.
    2. Select required columns(Lat,Long,etc) and append queries of your two tables into one query, then create a map visual. If you need to distinguish the data from the two tables, you would need to add a type column in the two table before you append query. This way, when you create map visual, you can drag the type column to Legend.
