What you could do is use the encoded polyline algorithm to produce enough points to get a roughly circular path. There’s definitely coding involved: you’d need to get the center and radius of your circle, turn that into a series of lat/longs, then encode using the algorithm.
As an alternative, you might be able to use a transparent gif image as a marker and put that in your map.
