When I open the web site it still puts me in Clayton.
I have changed the home address to my current one in Maggie Valley.

Somethings to consider -
Have you changed your address in Google ?
New ISP ? Do they have your new address ?
Do you have Location services turned on ?
Even if the answer on all these is yes, these kind of information changes take awhile to propogate through the Internet.

Google sees me in NC. I guess it will remain a mystery as is why I don't get notifications from this forum and haven't for years. |

Why do you want Google to know where you are? This day and age having Google not know where you are is probably a good thing.

I know not really germane to the OPs question but, based on the information presented, I wanted to see if Goggle knew where I lived or worked. Good news, it does not. Maybe within 20 miles but not my place. But I got two warnings about "exposed" or week passwords. So, being a person who thinks passwords are important and should be unique in todays day and age, I looked at the accounts in question. And I have no idea what the accounts are for. One is http://wireless.hp.internal:8080 with 34113. I have no idea what that is. The other is associated with a place I use to work so I don't really care about it but I never knew I had a Goggle account from/assciated with my employer. It's scana.com with GWA_JHeilman. It is interesting what is out there about you/us. |

If you go to maps.google.com, does it have a listing for "Home" on the left, and if so is it the new address or the old?  Also, if you click the "Go to my current location" button in the lower right hand corner of the map window does that show where you are now (Roughly) or the old location?  If it shows the old one, are you using the same WiFi router from your old place by any chance? |

If it shows the old one, are you using the same WiFi router from your old place by any chance? When it opens it goes to generic Clayton. Not my previous street location. No "Home" shows to the left. EDIT. Yes it does once I expand the choices. It;s the correct address. Current location will find me once I give it permission. Not the same router. |

Fixed.
I deleted the bookmark I was using.
Opened Maps again and my new home address is used.
