Enter in the real address of the correct address as a destination.
 
Set this address as a MEMORY POINT
 
Go into Address Book, Select Memory Point/Home
 
On the top of the screen, where you see Memory Point, touch that Icon...(not obvious) and the option will change between Home, present destination or memory point (cycle through I think). You'll want to stop pressing when it says HOME.
 
This is also where you can set 6 Preset Destinations that allow you to navigate to even when you are driving over 5MPH
 
I had this same problem and the NAV system interface is a POS.
 
Best of luck

I would never purchase a Nav system from Madza again,.. Tom Tom is much better.
I live a street that is 20 years old and the Nav has my location 4 blocks away.
The Tom Tom my son has blows the Nav in the Madza away.
Live and learn.

Definately agree, but have been living with the same POS in my CX-9 for a year now and am an expert on my wifes new CX-7.
 
You can manually adjust the location, which will better help the system get you home again. Look in the NAV manual.

The built in systems are nice but the update DVDs must be as big a profit center for the manufacturers as the initial systems are.
 
Just today I see these deals on portable systems:
 
Magellan RoadMate 1200 3.5" GPS on clearance for $29.93 at some Office Depot stores.
 
Recertified GARMIN nüvi 660 4.3" at Newegg for $139.99.
 
TomTom GO 730T 4.3-Inch Widescreen Bluetooth Portable GPS Navigator with Traffic Receiver $199.99 shipped at Amazon G/B

I have to check to see what version I have
I have 2009 vechicle so I assume it has the updated version
If not I think I will be visiting Madza

Ha! Don't count on it.
 
I just bought an 09 CX-7 and it still has the same disc as my 08 CX-9. Good luck visiting Mazda. The dealer will do squat and look at you like you have 2 heads and Mazda USA will give you great lip service but ultimately you'll get nowhere.
 
I would love to hear one person on any board say that Mazda has sent them an updated map disc for free......just one....

Just got my Revision F disc for 2008. Version 1. Most files are November 2008.
 
Life is good!
