For a while I've been puzzled by how Maps can't find my address when I click on my information that I've stored in Contacts. Even though all my info was there and correct in the field I was clicking on, Maps would always open with the pin in the centre of the nearest town. I've just worked out that it's because Maps wasn't using the data from Contacts, it was using my linked Facebook data for some reason. I've not put my full address in Facebook. There was no indication that this was happening, and it seems like a daft thing to do. Has anyone else found this issue?
 
Maps and Facebook

You will need to go into contacts and select the contact entry that you want as "Me". Somehow, it appears your facebook contact entry has been selected as "Me".

I'd done that, the Facebook info merging must have confused it somehow.
