But one thing I notice is I look at an image on Earth that doesn't have that misalignment and when I create a decal I see a misalignment formed in the same spot. Somethign is very weird.

Are you talking about how a decal has some image on it that should be somewhere else?

That happens soemtimes as well. I found the Google logo on a decal a few times as well as my desktop.

It isn't really a bother I just a new one with all windows closed or minimize.

I have run into this several times in my route (900+ decals) and in all cases it showed up in Google Earth first. I just work with it the best I can when laying track. One thing I had to train myself to do it so think of the decals as guides, not as the rule, since you can get into some interesting grades when you throw ReDem in the mix. *!lol!*

I create paths in google earth and follow the track that way, since it is 99% accurate that way.

(For example all of the track in Soldier Summit is identical to the real world location.)
