Why does a "location" always display on my Google Maps Display? I attached a picture of what I am talking about. BTW - It is not my "home" location. Thanks! google_map_default_screen.jpg

Try this. Not sure if your profile is in the same place but it is on my phone,

How do I hide my current location on Google Maps?


Turn on Incognito mode for Google Maps

In the top right, tap your profile picture. Tap Turn on Incognito mode.

Noppa - it didn't work. The address showing was an address I did add to my destinations (as with all others). It is the one that shows up when I start my car. Thanks for the suggestion.

Just noticed the dang address displayed is flagged as "want to go." Gonna search Google for an answer on how to change it.
