Creating Static Image with Path and Colored Markers

I'm trying to produce incident maps from GPS data, showing two minutes either side of the route as a path, and three markers: start, incident, end. All I'm getting is Error 400, malformed URL. I've tried chopping and changing, using smaller components of the URL, but its not working.

Any advice on my URL structure? Am I not encoding something properly? Anyway to get feedback on which part its choking on? Should I not be using the Static Maps API?

the required size-parameter is missing inside the URL
