The groundtrack for a particular entry depends strongly on the crossrange;
it can vary up to 800 nmi either way.

The range of groundtracks possible for each landing site was depicted in
one of the shuttle program's return-to-flight briefings, and I vaguely
recall that it was available on the web, but I haven't found it yet.
