The smart thing to do is map to a location NEAR the house, major intersection, some place you still know how to get home, but that will still give the GPS best route path. My "home" is about a mile away from the house.
Set your "Home" location to the police station nearest your house.

Why not? It's built into my car, and I'd prefer to not have $100+ repair bill every day.

I don't know if my car's GPS has a "home" location (I only use it for cross-country trips), but if it does, that's where I'm setting it.

That is the exact reason I set the "Home" location on my wife's GPS to the Kroger store about a half mile from the house.
That way, it gets her close enough to home that she can't possibly be lost, without bringing them directly into our subdivision, much less our home.
Hmmm.....I think I will set my Home location to the Police Department. Just because I have a wry sense of humor.

My "home" is set to the church I go to.
Would it make someone think twice?
