Hi I have two Home addresses listed under Apple Maps:
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?
iPhone 8, iOS 11.4.1 (15G77)

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.

Thank you very much for the reply.
The method outlined in the linked article suggests swiping left then tapping “Remove” on the Maps history entries. However, “Remove” is not an option for the Home addresses - they only have “Share” and “Edit location”. Any other ideas?
Greetings, ohbabes.
I see that your home address appears twice in the Maps application on your iPhone 8. Great job in checking your contact information, and I'm happy to help.
Delete Maps history on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch -- Review the information and apply the steps in this article to return to just one home location.
Take care!
