How to show multiple points at Google Maps?

Question

I would like to show multiple places at Google Maps. KML files does not suit me.

Is it possible to pass Google Maps a set of points in URL parameters?

why doesn't kml work? The hosted file URL can be passed as a URL parameter in google maps for display of multiple points.

Use the google maps javascript API - it has suitable functions

   <html>
     <body>
      <p>Blah</p>
      <div id="map_canvas" style="width:425px; height:550px"></div> 
      <p>Blah</p>

      <script type="text/javascript" src="http://maps.google.com/maps/api/js?sensor=false"></script> 
      <script type="text/javascript"> 

        var map;
        var markers = [];

        initialize();

        function initialize() {
          var myOptions = {
            zoom: 10,
            center: new google.maps.LatLng(100.090, -100.536),
            mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP
          }
          map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById("map_canvas"), myOptions);

          addMarker(new google.maps.LatLng(100.0747, -100.6274), "Alien");
          addMarker(new google.maps.LatLng(100.0758, -100.6254), "Zombie");
          addMarker(new google.maps.LatLng(100.0721, -100-6292), "Vampire");

        }

        function addMarker(latlng, myTitle) {
          markers.push(new google.maps.Marker({
            position: latlng, 
            map: map,
            title: myTitle,
            icon: "http://maps.google.com/mapfiles/marker" + String.fromCharCode(markers.length + 65) + ".png"
          }));    
        }

      </script> 
    </body>
  </html>

The non-programming alternative would be to use some of the web-based solutions. http://www.copypastemap.com which generates markers from Excel is very easy to use.

However, you need latitude and longitude if you want to display your data. The other alternative is to use fusion tables.
