Why does Google Maps Timeline always get my home address wrong?

Whenever I review old dates it shows me as leaving No.5 and returning to No.5 when I live at No.1.

Is there a way to tell it that I live at No.1 so I don't have to keep editing each entry every day? Its becoming tedious. I know its not the end of the world, but I'd like it to be correct without me having to change it every time.
I'm using an Android phone with location set to on.

TIA

Maps > Settings > Edit home or work.

Set home as the correct place for you.

And then, if someone steals your unlocked phone, they can go directly to your unoccupied house and nick stuff smile

Why do you need to keep editing it every day? I know it's to correct the start and end point but who else needs to know that?

It's just me. I don't like it being wrong. A little bit OCD I suppose.
