Am I the only person who has noted the incorrect location of the HiRISE image PSP_002347_1915 on the surface of Mars in Google Earth ?

It has been placed at 11.69° North, instead of 11.59°.
This can be easily confirmed by adding the CTX image P03_002136_1918_XI_11N269W at 11.75°N; 90.88°E and adjusting its transparency.
2 main craters in PSP_002347_1915 are seen to move wrt CTX.
But the CTX image lines up well with the background Mars surface.

Does anyone know how to inform the guys at 'Mars on Google Earth' of the error and get it fixed ?
