And if you have a flat coordinate system you can draw 2D objects on it all you want. Having said that, realize that google maps is projecting the earth onto a flat surface (think "unrolling" the earth and stretching+flattening until it looks "square"). The more points, the more it'll look like a circle. Therefore a circle (in terms of a a shape projected onto a sphere) is something that must be approximated using points. You have only those rudimentary values to work with. In spherical geometry shapes are defined by points, lines and angles between those lines.
