Ive been perplexed for the last three+ years by "Suggestions" offering (and insisting) the wrong address for my 'Home' in Find My and Maps.
In Find My, I have to often change back Siri's(?) suggested 'Home' location for my manually inputted 'Home Address' only to return at a later date to see MY address (listed second) AND the "suggested address" replacing it. (Below in the image is a screenshot after Ive yet again, erased the 'suggestion'—It just moves to the Suggestions list again) How can this be cleared/erased for good? This Suggestion is NOT my Home, and my actual address (in my contacts) is 'viewed' as just a random address (no Home label)
The Maps app is more or less accurate, but often 'drifts' from my current location (which I've tried to recalibrate while walking—and the 'location' stays correct for the rest of the day; only to drift again at a later date). Location services is ON and using Precise Location.
Yes, my contact card is correct and current (since before the beginning of OSX) and Apple Account info is correct, as well as all other instances—barring Find My And Maps. All my software is UTD.
Ive tried:
Prior to macOS Ventura, and in the early days of owning my iPhone 12Pro this was never an issue. Can anyone help me solve this? (Genius Bar and apple online havent been able to help). Since a similar location error shows on ALL my devices: Mac Studio, iPad Pro, iPhone and AppleWatch, I believe this is a software/account issue and not a Hardware/device issue.
While at home Ive also tried turning off cellular network to only use Wifi with NO change to locations on devices. Whether on Wifi or Cell devices are clustered together, just not in my home.

Any insight to correcting this would be greatly appreciated!

Ive tried:
- clearing Siri suggestion
- clearing Favorite Location (System Services)
- Toggled, and tried both ON/OFF in Product Improvement: "Routing/Traffic", "Improve Maps"
- removing/turning off ALL suggestions
- added my actual Home and Garage locations to Favorites
- calibrating the compass (???)
- calibrating my location by following the instructions on phone to 'sweep the camera' at current street location
- reset location services
- 'hard' reset
- complete erase/restore
