I can create a new map marker using code. Is there an equivalent way to create a circle using only blocks?

Perhaps this could help you,

Draw circle on a map

It depends: When you drew a circle using App Inventor Classic (or was this using ASP), you were probably drawing on a Google Static Map. If you will on a Google Static Map, try the advice here https://stackoverflow.com/questions/36506668/google-static-map-draw-a-circle and provide appropriate App Inventor Blocks. If you are drawing on an OpenStreetMap tile use Circle along with the Map component. This is the simple way to draw a circle using the MIT Map component. You could use Blocks lik…

Not possible to create a new circle with Blocks on a Map object. The Marker object is a special case that allows design time Markers and run time Markers.
'design time' Circles are the only possibility App Inventor developers have available using Blocks.

Review and compare Marker and Circle documentation. There is a CreateMarker block Method for a Map but no corresponding Method for a Circle .
