Google Earth is not very precise. They integrated data and images
from different sources that are badly aligned. If you activate
"routes" you often can see that the route is not there where it is
shown in the image, country borders that are middle of a river (like
the rhine between france and south west germany f.e.) are not aligned
with the river... There are even misalignments between adjacent
images.

There are satelite images with lower resolution. Not all of the
surface of the earth is covered by high resolution air photographs...
