I don't think that will make things any better than a 2% error. Google Maps is not MapInfo or ESRI. It could also greatly affect the usability of the map, depending on how you intend to use it. There may be better ways of doing what you want to do. For example, if you're concerned about which buildings are at the edge of the circle, you could vary what you do depending on zoom level and what's actually visible. Draw the entire circle if that's appropriate -- and you'll end up with a small error -- but zoom into the line and redraw just the visible part using a small segment length. That may well be more accurate (but no guarantees!) Bear in mind that in the streetmap view, streets are nowhere near as wide as they are shown on the screen, so the error is moot. And in satellite view, the tiles could be as much as 20m out anyway -- or even more.
