At one time, when I opened Google maps, it woke up centred on my place. Now it's centred on Old Trafford, for some reason. I must have done something that caused this, but I've tried all sorts to change it back, and nothing has worked. Can anybody help? It's not a big problem, but it's irritating.

Are you signed into Google when you use Maps on it?
Yes, I'm permanently signed in
My home address is correct, but it still wakes up on Manchester
If it's on Windows, Location Services must be on, and the browser / app must have permission to access location.
Can be changed in Settings. You can also set a default location to be used in the event that location can't be determined by other methods.

Thanks for trying, maybe a bit slow but I can't find any of that. I have made some progress though, I deleted GoogleMaps from my bookmark list, then opened it from the Google menu, and it opened on my place (then re-bookmarked it). If I remember right it wakes up at a longer scale than it used to, though obvs that's easy to alter as you use it. There doesn't seem to be a way to save the scale.
Also when I click the top left search bar 5 addresses appear, one is mine. The others have a clock symbol, all showing 4 o'clock! I can't make out what that does. One is a Manchester address, which probably caused the earlier problem. Why those 5 and not any of the other places I've searched for? I would like to delete all except my address, but can't see any way to do that.
