[?] In-game measurements?

So, I was going to start working on another map. But, after messing around a lot in google earth and the editor, I came to the conclusion that 1 real life meter doesn't equal 1 in-game meter. Which sucks when trying to re-crate a real location based on satellite photos. Because when I measure out 2km in google earth and then bring that over to the editor, the scale is off. To get it correct includes a lot of trial and error which takes forever and gets me frustrated and I usually just give up.

So, my question is does anyone know the exact conversions for in-game meters to real life meters? If I'm creating a 2km map, how many meters should the satellite image represent?

And if nobody knows, I might spend the time and figure it out.(then post my results) I just thought I would save myself some work and ask first.

I believe it's 2 in-game meters to 1 real life meter - Although that is only from the vaguest of memories :D
