Multiple "Home" entries in navigation

I have three "Home" entries, all pointing to the same address. I did the prescribed method for deletion of the unwanted favorites - hold for a few seconds, and then click remove. Just does not work. Did the navigation reset - that did not work either.
Any suggestions? Thanks.

I had a similar problem; not multiple entries but I just wanted to delete my home entry and I couldn't figure it out. Eventually, I figured it out but I don't remember how. Just keep banging away at it. You'll get it.

I had heard something about car thieves who steal your car from a parking lot and use the nav to find your house and hit that too while they know you're away. So I deleted my "Home" entry from the nav. Then I thought I'm being a bit too paranoid so I put it back.

I compromised and used an address that is near my house.

Same here. Multiple home address shortcuts just showed up across the bottom in my navigation module for no reason.

Same here, I have 2 entries and they seem to be linked to one another:



After long press, both entries are highlighted while clear address is grayed out, so the duplicate cannnot be removed.

I had this problem among a few others related to Infotainment system. Yesterday I did a factory reset of the infotainment system and the multiple home entries were gone. In fact, the whole system runs a lot better now with all the cobwebs cleared away - would highly recommend it. Only setting I lost were presets for SiriusXM and FM stations - I didn't have any other favourites in Navigation system, as I mainly use Carplay Google Maps and Waze.

Have you tried to replace them with another address instead?

Decided to do a Factory Reset to get rid of this nuisance. Had to spend some 20 minutes to redo Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, home and work address, and Sirius XM favorites. Hope don't have to do this too often.
