I've never been able to get anything to line up correctly in GE. I hate the
interface. I find it real easy to line something up in ExpertGPS.
Another problem with GE is sometimes the photos are not aligned properly.
Whenever I want to trace something from GE, the first thing I do is use
MapSource to get the lat and long of an intersection to see if photos in GE
are aligned properly. If they are not aligned, I use the history icon to
find a set of photos that is aligned properly. Then I trace what I need.
