I want to draw some lines that would follow either the longitude or latitude, but it doesn't take the globe's curvature in account.
How would I go about doing that? I'm using KML.
A:
Use Gdal to draw the line layer, and ogr2gor (same site) to convert the layer into kml

Just an update: I did it in Google Maps instead, where this is not a problem. Will check out your suggestion in the future though, thanks.

A:
In KML if you mean you want the line to clamp to the ground then you would set 'altitudeModeEnum' to 'clampToGround' and testate to 1 (true. Like so.
<LineString id="myLine">
<tessellate>1</tessellate>
<altitudeMode>clampToGround</altitudeMode>
</LineString>
