Yet another solution: pass an object like to origin and destination

{lat: 39.904309, lng: 116.385871}

Or using the previous code :

…
var start = new google.maps.LatLng('37.7683909618184', '-122.51089453697205');
var end = new google.maps.LatLng('41.850033', '-87.6500523');
var request = {
  origin:start, 
  destination:end,
  travelMode: google.maps.DirectionsTravelMode.DRIVING
};
directionsService.route(request, function(response, status) {
   …
}
…

This way the coordinates are directly recognized as such, and not evaluated from string.
