Below are several different types of google static maps.

The first is a map with a single marker on the Space Needle.
The second is one with 3 marks, one on the Space Needle, one on the Seattle Science Center, and One on the EMP Museum.
The last three have the same 3 markers but varios styles.

Generally markers are separated with "|" pipes, styles are a bit more complex and require multiple parts separated with pipes and for more advanced stuff multiple markers. I have a writeup at the url.
