Need Help....Yes you may laugh

You guys will get a good chuckle out of this so let it all out and then reply
I've owned my G for 2 years now and I can't figure out how to change the previous owners home address on the Nav to my home address. I've tried a few things and even called Guelph Infinity and NOTHING can you guys explain the prosses to me? Collin I may just swing by if I'm at my parents...oh wait....the G will be put away...oh well I'll just wait for the advice here.

IDK about the proceedure, but on a security note....
(I believe this has been posted before)

It's highly recommended to use a "home" location nearby, NOT your actual address.

The unscrupulous sorts are breaking into cars, accessing home addresses from nav systems
then breaking in while they know you're away.

Cars with suction cup marks on the windshield from portable nav mounts are a prime target.

I have heard of this as well. I just use my city as direction for going home, because hey, once I enter my territory, I know every street and corners there.

^ +1, a very good point indeed. To be honest, I've got my home location set to my actual home address and it never even crossed my mind about thieves using it to break into my house.
