Google Earth Anomaly

On 3/2 I placed my GPS track on GE. Then on 3/9 I drove the same route and placed my GPS track on GE and there is a huge disagreement.
I used reinstalled GE and my converter program and did it over and got the same result. Then I used the track from Inreach and still got the same result. So two independent GPS's agree.
I have been doing the same process of placing my GPS tracks on GE for over 20 years and have never had this issue. My track always agrees with GE even at max zoom.
If you examine the GE image, you can see that the 3/9 route highway 3 is shifted just like my track.
If you examine my Inreach Image from Garmin you can see it exactly shows the track correctly for the 3/9 trip.
My conclusion is the issue is not the GPS track but is something with GE?
Can anyone tell what happened?

what time stamp (month/year) is on the respective images?
in my experience, a track recorded in 2006 will match GE images of 2006 - but not 2021
a 2021 track recorded will only match 2021 GE images

white track - 2006 recorded
black rack -2022 recorded

I know it is not the same thing, but I was driving a beach road south of Punta Conejo, and my automotive GPS showed me trolling just offshore. I didn't know my Kia could swim!

You must have goat's brand of GPS that thinks the sea level is a lot higher!

Datums verified. GPSs are the same as GE, WGS 1984 Yes, Many times repeated runs show a slight shift. That only shows up at large zoom levels as shown above. Nothing similar to my images where even the background shifted for the latest run. Google does suggest a different computer setting causing a shift. I suspected a new setting for my computer, so I did the same process on a different computer with all new downloads and installs and got the same result.

this is the date you need to pay attention to
