I would like to detect that a google.maps.LatLng is inside a google.maps.Polygon.

How can I do that ?

Cheers,

You can use this in google map V3:-

google.maps.geometry.poly.containsLocation(google.maps.LatLng(latitude, longitude),polygons);

polygons is a object returned by function after polygoncomplete.

var polygons=null;
google.maps.event.addDomListener(drawingManager, "polygoncomplete", function(polygon) {
        polygons=polygon;
});
