The probs with google earth (at the moment) is it needs to be connected to the net most of the time or have a mahoosive cache (like 10GB would give fairly good results for the UK)
It also needs better satelite images for the uk, the us is great, but the minute you go 6 miles away from the centre of london it goes really blurry...

If i had google earth installed i could find it easily

But the google maps website doesnt have maps of germany only england + USA

you can barely see the roads in google earth... the fad wore off in 5 mins for me.

Really? when i used it you could zoom right into our backgarden

It all depends where your looking really, they only have the high-zoom maps for highly populated areas.

Did you uncheck the terrain box ? It seems to be better quality when you do.
