Hi,
I don't think that there is a quick way to solve it.
On the one hand, taking an existing visual may look simpler but there is a high risk to be confused with someone else's code because visuals are often written by several people.
On the other hand, writing an own custom visual requires a lot of resources and knowledge.
If you decide to wirte own custom visual I can recommend you to start from Power BI Cusom Visuals Documentation, then you probably should learn D3 and some libraries or APIs that let to work with Google Maps.
Since you need to use several external libraries, it is better to use a beta version of tools that supports webpack.
