How do I establish or change my "Home" location in the Mavericks Maps app?

In the Maps app in Mavericks my "Home" location is completely wrong, and there doesn't seem to be a way to change it.

The address itself, as it's expressed in text, is correct. But the location on the map in terms of where the address is located is entirely wrong.

How do I alter the location of "Home" in the Maps app to establish the correct location.

I have sumitted an error report to Apple to identify the problem. But this seems to be a futile effort, since I did the same thing when the Maps app was released for iPhone over a year ago and there's been no adjustment made.

So I'm looking for a way to manually correct my "Home" location on the map. Anyone know how to do this?

iMac, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)

I've found a slightly clunky work around: I reset the current location on iCal on my iPhone (my computers & iPhone are connected using iCloud for all updates).

Open your ical entry on your iPhone (or create it on the iPhone)

> click on edit

> click on travel time

(ensure travel time is turned on)

> click on starting location (I generally reset this to "current location", in the vain hope that this will update as I move around).

I think that iCal resets the destination location to the most recent address set on apple Maps. Just guessing, but that matches my experience.
