If you're concerned about getting there by car, then GDirections would
seem to be a good thing to use. If you can get directions from a point
to your latlng, then it's accessible by car; otherwise it isn't.

Caution: directions may appear to succeed if the end point is close to
your test location (ie, the drivable route gets close enough). You
will need to test that the end point of the directions is actually
where you want to get to: if it is, you can drive there; if it isn't,
you can't. There may be additional complications if your test location
is slightly off a road -- you may need to have a tolerance.
