Duplicate "Home" addresses in Apple Maps

Hi I have two Home addresses listed under Apple Maps:


User uploaded file


They both direct to the same (correct) location.


Under the "me" contact in the Contacts app, I have two addresses listed - one for Home and one for Work (N.B. my "Work" address works fine in Apple Maps but is not shown above because I was at work when I took the screenshot).


Any ideas on how to remove the duplicate "Home" listing in Apple Maps?

For anyone who experiences this issue, here's how I resolved it.


In Settings, tap your name at the top of the page, then tap iCloud. From here you can see all the different elements that are being synced between iCloud and your device, in the APPS USING ICLOUD section of the screen. There's a listing for Maps. Disabling this caused the duplicate "Home" address to disappear from the Maps app. When I re-enabled Maps in iCloud options then the duplicate did not re-appear.
