That'll be a problem, the G-Maps API is all geared to representing the
Earth's surface where there's no such thing as a straight line.   You
may have to do your own calculations for a straight line overlaid on
the distorted map.

You might be able to minimise the apparent error by segmenting the
straight line say every 500km, but I think you'd have some
'interesting' calculations to do there to keep it appearing straight
though!

I suspect that's exactly how the geodesic version behaves, it acts
like a straight line but it won't please your eye because it doesn't
LOOK straight.

good luck, Ross K
