To change your home address on Google Maps, you update the saved “Home” place in your account so Maps uses the new location for directions and commute estimates.

On Android or iPhone (Google Maps app)

  1. Open the Google Maps app and make sure you’re signed in to the right Google account.
  1. Tap your profile picture in the top‑right corner.
  1. Tap Settings (or Your data in Maps on some versions).
  1. Do one of the following (you may see either path):
    • Go to Saved → Labeled → Home.
 * Or go to **Edit home or work → Home**.
  1. Tap the three dots next to Home and choose Edit home.
  1. Set your new home address by either:
 * Typing the address and selecting it from the search results.
 * Using **Choose on map** , then dragging the pin to your new place.
 * On Android, you can also select **Use your current location** if you’re physically at home.
  1. Confirm and tap Save / Done / Finished.

Now when you tap “Home” in Google Maps, it will route you to this updated address.

On desktop (google.com/maps)

  1. Open Google Maps in your browser and sign in.
  2. Click the menu (three lines) in the top‑left corner.
  1. Click either:
    • Saved → Labeled → Home , or
    • Your data in Maps , then find Home address.
  1. Click Home or Home address and clear the old one if needed.
  1. Enter your new address, pick the correct result, or adjust the pin if the option appears.
  1. Click Save to finish.

If your new “Home” isn’t used

  • Google Maps may still prefer your first saved Home if you’ve created multiple “home‑like” labels; keep only one real Home and remove others under Saved → Labeled.
  • If directions still look wrong, close and reopen the app, and make sure you’re logged into the same Google account on all devices.

In everyday use, once this is set, you can simply type “Home” in Maps search or say “Navigate home” to your assistant, and it will use the updated address automatically.

TL;DR: Edit the Home label (or “Home address”) under Saved / Labeled or Your data in Maps , type or pin your new place, and hit Save on both mobile and desktop.
