And that would be a limitation of maps.google.com, not the API.

If your requirement is to create a URL that displays three points from
the API on a static map or on an API map; that can be done.

The only other option I can think of is create a publicly accessible
kml feed or file that displays those three points and use
maps.google.com to display that.

But I am not an expert on maps.google.com; for that you would be
better off posting to a group that specializes in Google Maps
(although some of those people frequent this group...)
