When I do what you do in your video everything works except the old map I am overlaying is real blurry when overlayed. I cannot figure out how to clear it up. Any suggestions?

Ok I think I know the problem. This is hard to explain though. Basically, what this means is the I age you are saving is small and google earth is stretching it which is why it's blurry. When getting the image, go the the actual page of the website and right click on the image and save it to your desktop. Don't just save it from the google window. Also, if there's an option to download it on the website, use that.

Hope it helps.

This is probably really simple, how would I know this?

Well u don't know off the top off of my head but probably open it up in paint. Also, like I said make sure you go to the actual website and save it from the actual web page, not just off google. It seems the image you downloaded is extremely small, and is stretched on google earth which is why it's blurry.
