"visible" ensures the location is shown, but the documentation implies
that it inhibits any markers being shown.
You're also not specifying where you want the marker shown: after
"size:normal" should be a | followed by the location. So the fix is
not to use "visible", but to specify the location of the marker and
let the API decide the centre-point and zoom of the map.

You can reduce the length of the URL by geocoding the addresses first.
