Modify preferences in Apple Maps

MY Mac's Apple Maps app insists on calculating travel time from my work location. I don't know how that decision was made, but I'd like to modify the default behavior so it would calculate travel times from my home. I can't find any preferences menu or control for the Apple Maps app. Does anyone know where I should be looking or what I need to do?

Hello Tom Gleason and welcome to Apple Support Communities. It appears you are having some difficulty specifying your Home address for travel distance figuring when using the Maps app.


Maps is intimately tied into the Contacts app for this kind of data. Check your personal card in the Contacts app and ensure the your actual home address is listed in the Home field in Contacts.


Cheers.
