I'm upgrading my code from v2 to v3 and I used to do something like
the following in order to get a polyline of directions from two
LatLngs:

    newDirections.loadFromWaypoints([begin, end],{
      getPolyline: true
    });

    google.maps.Event.addListener(newDirections, "load", function(){
      var poly = newDirections.getPolyline();

With v3 (where start/end are LatLngs)

var directionsService = new google.maps.DirectionsService();
var request = {
  origin:      start,
  destination: end,
  travelMode:  google.maps.DirectionsTravelMode.DRIVING
};

directionsService.route(request, function(directionsResult,
directionsStatus) {
  if (directionsStatus == google.maps.DirectionsStatus.OK) {

    path = directionsResult.routes[0].overview_path

    console.log($.map(path, function(a){return [[a.lat(),
a.lng()]]}) );


And this is significantly less graceful, doesn't use the API and does
silly mapping with jQuery AND I still don't have a polyline object.

Is there a better way?

Thanks!
