You can use the Reverse geocoder to find the address of the nearest point on a road known to the geocoder. You could then compute the distance between the location returned by the geocoder and your GPS location (using the Geometry library).
However this is not foolproof - I have seen occasions when there has been over 750m difference between a map pin placed on a public road and the location returned by the reverse geocoder. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps JavaScript API v3" group.
