For all you GPSers and others who might be interested: I've added town latitude and longitude coordinates to the database, which made it possible to add a few new features to the website.

Here's a page which summarizes the latitude/longitude coordinates of Katy Trail towns, generally centering on the trailheads.

And if you visit the individual town pages, you'll see a new option above each town map, to view the map in Google Map format. This is simply an embedded Google map, which allows you to zoom and recenter the map. As an example, here's the Rocheport page. If you page down you can see the Google-style map, the latitude/longitude values, and the dropdown list allowing you to switch between map formats.

There are pros and cons to each map format. With the graphic format you can easily see the trail and trailhead, and with the Google format you can use the zooming and centering features.

Does anyone know of a site that lists the elevations for all of the trailheads and or a topo map of the trail?

You can pick off elevations all over the US at terraserverusa.com. Why don't you pick of the elevations and UTM coordinates (click on the Info tab) so Ray can fill out his table with the values? Here's the topo for the majority of the trail:

Just click on the map to zoom and pan with the N/E/S/W tabs at the edge of the image.

Yeah, if anyone has elevation info, just pass it along to me and I'll be happy to add it to the website.
