I don't know how to feed it into the phone via URL -- the only way I
have done it is from within javascript, using the Maps API.  From what
I know of URL inputs into maps, you can feed search queries that
result in multiple markers, but I don't know of a good way to specify
the markers themselves.  You can fake it by asking for directions
between two locations:

http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&hl=en&geocode=&saddr=37.77,-98.87&daddr=37.32,-76.76&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=34.122306,59.941406&ie=UTF8

There may be other ways to do it.  I tried using the "My Maps" feature
in Google maps to make a map with multiple markers, and then e-mailing
the link to my iPhone, but it opened that in Safari rather than in the
maps widget.

That would be pretty cool, though the phone contacts list already does
something like this -- if you tap a contact's address, it goes to the
maps widget and shows a marker.  I would not be surprised if other
parts of the iPhone are already maps-savvy too.
