I just upgraded to the Galaxy Nexus. In the new Google Now, the traffic for my home destination is listed incorrectly. I also noticed that the Home address for myself under the People listing is incorrect. If I try to edit my local profile, there is no field for address. Long pressing on the address only allows me to copy it.

How can I update my Home address?

Easier solution:

  • Click the button on the top left next that says "Maps"
  • Select "My Places"
  • There is the button for "home"
  • Tap and hold to get the option to edit it

If you'd like to do this on a desktop, you can go to maps.google.com, login with your Google account and click My Places on the left. This shows your current Home and Work address along with a little location history, and you can find Edit under the dropdown menu next to each entry.

What about going to http://contacts.google.com, log in, and then edit the information about yourself ? In particular, you can edit your postal address and indicate it as your home address.

Nope, Google Now/Places/Latitude takes the home location from the option described in Andy's answer – Flow Aug 22 '12 at 23:20

I finally figured out how to do this and thought I would explain (since it is not very obvious).

  1. Open up Google Maps or Latitude
  2. Click on yourself (the tag that shows your name, last update time, and city)
  3. You should be able to click a Location history option
  4. With the history open, click the settings button in the lower right corner
  5. There are options to change your home and work addresses!

Hope this helps someone in the future.
