Using distance API (link below) you can calculate 1.distance A to D 2.Then calculate distance from A to B and add distance B to D If difference between 1 and 2 is zero,then its the same route

You have three points: A, B and C. You know how to find the direction between two points.

So, if direction(A to B) is similar to direction(B to C) then B is roughly between A and C. Roughly. This will be less accurate near the poles and over longer distances.
