Equirectangular spherical perspective isn't as nice as azimuthal equidistant spherical perspective in terms of great circle plots. Great circles plot like longitude=arctan(a.cos(latitude)), which with the apex at high latitudes makes for some rather squarish lines. But these too can be well approximated by ruler and compass. see my upcoming paper "Guidelines for drawing VR panoramas in equirectangular perspective".
The good thing about these equirectangular perspectives is that Flickr, Google, Facebook, and so on, know how to render them as VR panoramas, which basically means, as interactive planar anamorphoses. So: Click on the picture below to see it as a VR panorama.
Equirectangular perspective of three pencils of straight lines, going to 15, 45, and 75 longitude vanishing points respectively, from left to eight. We can see that these lines take a rather complex sigmoidal shape.

EXIF injections:
Placing VR panoramas on facebook requires injection of the correct EXIF data. An easy way to do it online is through the Thexifer web app.
You can for instance choose Make as "RICOH" and Model as "RICOH THETA S".
An alternative, quicker way to do it is with The 360 Toolkit, a web site that is also very practical for converting between equirectangular perspective and cubemaps.
