How do I prevent Apple CarPlay from routing to an incorrect address similar to my home?

I do have my home address pinned and also in my contact card as home however there is a similar address with slightly different spelling but when using Apple CarPlay, it auto-routes there instead of my home address

CarPlay Maps doesn't work with contacts When using CarPlay Apple Maps does not work to set a destination that is from my contacts. I can dial a contact, I can message a contact, but I cannot get directions to a contact's address. This functionality works fine when not using CarPlay. It is broken when using CarPlay.

Apple Maps can't find my home address when accessed form my contact card If I search for my home address in maps by door number, street, town and postcode it locates it correctly and accurately. However, when I save that address as my 'home' (updating my contact card in the process) and then try to access the location using this favourite it brings up a totally different location, when i expand the pin that is labelled as my 'home' I can also see that its now a totally different address? I have tried re-enetering m address in my contact card in different formats but this just results in apple maps providing different locations when I try to access my location from the 'home' favourite. Its annoying as i regular use the home favourite when navigating return car journeys using apple maps. I also have a 'take me home' shortcut which no longer works for the same reason. I have the same issue when using maps on my MacBook. When I try saving friends/family address as favourites, or accessing their address locations using the map icon in the contact card I don't have problem Any help would be much appreciated.

Maps is not using contact address as is for "home location". I have an issue where Maps (IOS and MacOS) is not using the full address of my contact card but only the street name, then filling the blank with whatever information it finds leading to have a correct address in the contact card (which works fine when manually entered in Maps) but a wrong Maps preview and wrong default home location in Maps. This is clearly an issue for me with Maps trying to be smart by only taking a subset of the address. Anyone else has the same issue? How to make a bug report? (it's really annoying)
