    Are you using the google earth toolbar. As long as your drawing is setup with the correct Zone info then the google earth image should come in right where you want it. Google earth uses LL84 If i'm not mistaken and will do the conversion for you. Let me know if your using the google earth plugin or not. If not then get it! lol
