With the Geometry Library.

https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/javascript/reference#poly

Static method isLocationOnEdge()

Computes whether the given point lies on or near to a polyline, or the edge of a polygon, within a specified tolerance. Returns true when the difference between the latitude and longitude of the supplied point, and the closest point on the edge, is less than the tolerance. The tolerance defaults to 10-9 degrees.

You have to include the library in your API call:
