Here is how to determine the accuracy of Google Earth's measure tool (goto Tool menu, select Measure).

1. Launch Google Earth
2. Locate Harvard Bridge just south of MIT, Cambridge, MA

It has been measured, in 1958, that Harvard Bridge is 364.4 Smoots plus one ear. I tried, and yes, it was about 364.4 smoots according to Google Earth.
