Can you fly a direct GPS route on international flights?

For example, can you legally fly a direct gps route from Guadeloupe to Opa Locka, FL? Or would you have to stick to airways?

What are all the current reasons why our General Aviation system still uses airways?
I’ve actually flown as co-pilot into Opa Locka International from Jamaica before, but it was an IFR flight. There were customs and immigrations officers there.
