Default Navigation Address Problem

My 08 Z06 Navigation system shows my home address to be three houses away. The lots are an acre each, so that is quite a distance off. Anyone know how to remedy this situation? My Garmin does not do this, nor did the BMW navigation.

Try changing your address until it gets it near your home. I live on a street that's been here for seven years and it still doesn't know it. I use an address about 1/2 mile from home.

Click "mark" and save. It should be dead on.

Someone posted this website to report problems with addresses in the GM Nav Disk. All I know is that I reported mine address 3 years ago and now it is correct on the current nav disk. Might be worth a try. The only issue would be that the new disk (#5) is due out at any time and of course any changes will not make this year's update.

I just sit in the driveway and set "Home" manually. The problem is that now it thinks my address is the house number that is 3 lots over.
