Cannot remove "Home" pin from Apple Maps

I have an iPhone 12 with iOS 17. For some bizarre reason, Apple maps recently identified an incorrect location through a red pin as "Home" (even though Home is properly entered into my contacts). This has destroyed my ability to get directions to my actual home, since Siri uniformly identifies the bogus "Home" as the right one. Nothing I've read on the web has given me a solution. For example, when I tap on the pin and scroll down, "remove" is not one of the options I see. Can anyone help me with this? It is driving me crazy.

Siri "can't find Maps on my iPhone" Hi all. What's going on when my phone's plugged into my car and CarPlay's up and running and I tell Siri to navigate to X place and she says, "Sorry, I can't do that right now because I can't find Maps on your iPhone"? It's not like Maps has gone anywhere; it's on the same phone Siri's on. Siri is just temporarily unable to "find" it. But why? What's actually going on? And is there something I can do to prevent this from ever, ever happening again? Because when I'm under time pressure I can have a hard time dealing with Siri's absurd claim that she "can't find Maps on my iPhone". Is having unreliable technology better than having none at all? 🤔 I'm not sure.

Hey Siri only not working for Apple Maps when locked I have Siri set with full access and it works with all other apps and functions when the phone is locked but not with maps. At first it was intermittent however recently it always comes back with “you have to unlock your iPhone first”. I use Apple Maps for work constantly and need the hands free functionality. I have tried all the help suggestions on this forum as well as many online nothing works. things I have tried / do regularly • resetting Siri settings at least once a month • restarting phone weekly •changing the wording used with Siri

Apple maps search suggestions not working All the apple devices I've had so far have suggested locations as I type in the search bar of the maps app however, my iphone 11 - ever since I bought it, it has never worked. I've either had to type the whole address before pressing search or just had to google the location (for spelling etc.) and copy it into the search bar. It's a minor thing but it's so inconvenient when I'm trying to search for suggestions and nothing comes up as I type. Attached are photos from 1. my old iphone 7 that shows suggestions and 2. iphone 11 that does not
