If you are using leaflet, you can create a new LatLngBounds and use its contains() operation:

var bounds = new L.LatLngBounds(
 new L.LatLng(gc.bbox['_northEast'].lat, gc.bbox['_northEast'].lng),
 new L.LatLng(gc.bbox['_southWest'].lat, gc.bbox['_southWest'].lng));

return bounds.contains(new L.LatLng(pos.latitude, pos.longitude))
