You could try the OSM layer for Google Earth by Markus Bader:

My workflow is to 1st draw the track in RC on a Mapnik card (because both hikebike and cylce map updates are lagged by several weeks sometimes, showing older content), then save the track as KML file and do the final work in Google Earth based on the satellite layer and Panoramio user photos (to not miss great places).
If RC would have an option to overlay GE layer + OSM layer, plus show the Panoramio photos on top of it optionally, yes, *that* would be great :-)
