No one has responded - don't know why as I think this is a good question. I cannot find anything about this in the manual for my 660. There is talk of editing details on Home but not changing. I guess you could try deleting from favourites then setting a new favourite and call this Home. If you do this however I don't know if the "Go home" button will still work. Some advice needed I think. Have you asked Garmin?

On the Garmin i3 you must delete the Home favourite first. Then you can set up a new one.

Possibly no-one with C510 reading. It will be different for different GARMIN units.

For the 510 it's on page 8 of the user manual http://www8.garmin.com/manuals/StreetPilotc510_OwnersManual.pdf
and it's using a variation of the delete then reset location. Similar to the 660.

the i3 and nuvi 360 automatically send you to a favourite sved as 'HOME' when you selct 'go home'. presumeably the others are the same - so just remove your current favourite called 'HOME' or rename it to 'OLD HOME' and save a new one called 'HOME'

It was recently suggested to me that one should not set a 'Home' location in case your unit is stolen and it leads them straight to your house. 8O
Rather to include your home address in your 'Favourites' list. Just a thought................

If you have turned off and set Garmin Lock they cannot find HOME because they can only unlock with the PIN or by going to HOME 8)

I did not say there was a risk - I was expanding the responses. You only set Garmin lock once and once set it will need the PIN to start the unit. Yes, th esecurity location is needed for if you forget your PIN and is normally set to Home because it is useful not to have to put the PIN in when you start out from Home (once the GPS has got a fix of course).
To see which models have Garmin lock and for a better description why not visit www.garmin.com ? Confused

inspiredron - Sorry. I know you didn't say there was a risk but perussell seemed to imply there was one.

Thanks for the info on this. Already Googled it yesterday.
