How can I create a map visual plotting different data in different types of layers?

[LAntonelli]

So the requirement is being able to have a filled map visual that plots the color of the shape of the state according to a certain metric and also having our clientes plotted as bubbles on said map. I believe the only way to be able to achieve this with stock power bi visuals is using the Azure Map visual and adding a reference layer (which would be the client locations), but this is not ideal as the reference layer is static and can not be filtered nor updated with new data upon refresh. 

What should I look into for creating these types of visuals? I have working knowledge on using Python for creating visualizations, processing data and automation, but I have never used Python in the context of creating Power BI Visuals. Are there any resources you would recommend? 

Thanks in advanced.
