NASA has improved the information available at their shuttle landing
page at http://shuttle.nasa.gov/index.html/landing/grtrack/

There are better maps, and a couple of links to detailed deorbit
information that includes the lat/long, time, height, & velocity for the
following events:

Deorbit Burn Time of Ignition (TIG)
TDRSS Acquisition of Signal (AOS)
Entry Interface (EI)
Terminal Area Energy Management (TAEM)
Mach 1
Heading Alignment Cylinder/Circle entry (HAC)
Landing

Also included is a schedule of the roll maneuvers.

If the shuttle landing is delayed one orbit, the shuttle will follow
the curve of the U.S. Gulf coast, otherwise it passes over Central America.
