GDirections follows roads, and won't ever follow a line of lat or long, let alone across oceans. > but I was wondering if there was a simpler > way? I couldn't find an API that would draw specific meridians or lat > lines or even a lat/long grid. The API provides the means to draw 'straight' lines as you desire them GPolyline http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/overlays.html#Polylines_Overview you'd be interested in the geodesic option. Beware things going wrong for lines that cross the antemeridian, or run fully to the poles (where the base maps don't go).
