If you have moved to a new location or your home address has changed, albeit temporarily or permanently, you may want to update your home address on Google Maps. This has to be done so that next time you open the maps, you don’t get directions to and from your old address, but instead, you’ll get the routing options based on your new address. This saves the irritation of entering the location manually every time you either want to search for a route or simply navigate back home and get an idea of the traffic, after a tiring day at work. Google Maps provides the option of saving your Home and Work addresses for quicker navigation and traffic updates, within the app. Need to know how to change or update your home address on Google Maps?
