google maps boundary borders of regions

Question

This is more of a research question than a technical question.

First I need to be able to draw sections of the uk like in this example : (http://blog.codebrain.co.uk/posts/uk_postcode_selector/postcode_selector.html)

Is there anywhere that has lat / long co-ordinates of the boundaries?

Following on from that is there a way to see if a postcode or lat/long position is withing these boundaries.

You can use geocoding for postal codes. And for sections you can use his kmz file: http://blog.codebrain.co.uk/posts/uk_postcode_selector/postcode_selector.kmz

So how does this script determine, when you click, which area you have clicked, i.e. Birmingham? – jaget Nov 08 '11 at 16:17
Actualy I think it will just get location lat and lng and it sends that to geolocation, then it returns all information about that place. – Ernestas Stankevičius Nov 09 '11 at 09:43
