I have 153 markers and need to generate a static map with them, but when put them in the url I get an error like this:

414 Request-Uri Too Large

My url is something like this

"http://maps.google.com/maps/api/staticmap?center=13.00,-85.00&size=600x500&maptype=roadmap&markers=13.305,-86.18636&markers=13.72326,-86.13705&......"

Thanks folks!

The way i see it is either you reduce precision of your markers in order to gain space in the URL. (i.e. markers=13.72326,-86.13705---->markers=13.73,-86.14) resulting in placing the markers in a grid...
Or you go with a non static api
