As you probably have seen I've been playing with the Trail Infobox. My goal was to get a single lat/lon entry work for map the IB table, Gmap centering, and Gmap tag. I got it to work so now the IB template should be just...

{{Infobox Trail
                     | Image Name = Sinking Waters information sign.jpg
                     | Hike Time = 1
                     | City = Kingsport
                     | State = Tennessee
                     | Marking = None
                     | Trail Use = {{Hike}} {{Dogs}}
                     | Season = Year Round
                     | Difficulty Rating = Easy
                     | Distance = 3.0
                     | Elevation Gain = 0-200
                     | High Point = 1618
                     | Latitude = 36.516591
                     | Longitude = -82.473665
                     | Medical = Kingsport, TN
}}
<!-- End Infobox template table-->

Essentially the whole bottom business with the GMap extension is gone and moved to the template. See WPSP Sinking Waters for an example.

I feel this cleans things up for novices (not that we have many editing) and just ensures everything matches up well plus simplifies editing. The problem is that it appears that you prefer DMS coords which the GMap tag doesn't work with (so all trail pages with DMS lat/lon IB coords are now not working). I can change the template to have more variables for DMS lat/lon and DEG lat/lon, but that puts us almost back to where we were. Still a bit cleaner looking thought.
