You can check an example here:

google.load('visualization', '1', {'packages': ['geochart']});
google.setOnLoadCallback(drawVisualization);

  function drawVisualization() {var data = new google.visualization.DataTable();

 data.addColumn('number', 'Lat');                                
 data.addColumn('number', 'Long');
 data.addColumn('number', 'Value'); 
 data.addColumn({type:'string', role:'tooltip'});                        

data.addRows([[41.151636,-8.569336,0,'tooltip']]);
data.addRows([[ 39.059575,-98.789062,0,'tooltip']]);
                               
 
 var options = {
 colorAxis:  {minValue: 0, maxValue: 0,  colors: ['#6699CC']},
 legend: 'none',    
 backgroundColor: {fill:'transparent',stroke:'#FFF' ,strokeWidth:0 },    
 datalessRegionColor: '#f5f5f5',
 displayMode: 'markers', 
 enableRegionInteractivity: 'true', 
 resolution: 'countries',
 sizeAxis: {minValue: 1, maxValue:1,minSize:5,  maxSize: 5},
 region:'world',
 keepAspectRatio: true,
 width:400,
 height:300,
 tooltip: {textStyle: {color: '#444444'}}    
 };
  var chart = new   google.visualization.GeoChart(document.getElementById('visualization')); 
     
    
 
 chart.draw(data, options);
 
 
 }
 
 

<script src="https://www.google.com/jsapi?fake=.js"></script>
<div id="visualization"></div>

There are many ways to do it, this is just one.

data.addColumn('number', 'Lat');                                
data.addColumn('number', 'Long');
data.addColumn('number', 'Value');
data.addColumn({type:'string', role:'tooltip'});                        

data.addRows([[41.151636,-8.569336,0,'tooltip']]);
data.addRows([[ 39.059575,-98.789062,0,'tooltip']]);

Answer 2

As said in the documentation:

Marker location [Required] The first column is a specific string address (for example, "1600 Pennsylvania Ave"). OR The first two columns are numeric, where the first column is the latitude, and the second column is the longitude.

You need to define first two columns of your data set as numeric values representing latitude and longitude.
