Help! Google Latitude Shows My Address Incorrectly

Why does Google Latitude often show my address as 457 St. Paul's Blvd.?  St. Paul's Blvd. is in the Downtown Norfolk area.  I have written an inquiry and have not been able to come up with a conclusive answer.  If anyone who may give me some insight into why this happens I will be most appreciative.

Presently, I am sitting at home and Google Latitude which used to find my location just fine has pointed to this incorrect location recently.  What is even stranger is that my Google phone number shows "Smithfield, VA" on my caller ID display.  My correct Norfolk address is registered on my Google account.

When look at the address via Google Maps and the address points to a photo of an empty street with an empty lot right off the street.  It makes me wonder is someone hacking my Google account because my address used to show just fine.

So, if anyone can offer me any insight as to how to resolve this I would be greatly appreciated.  I was able to get it to show correctly previously.  But it has defaulted to this same incorrect address again.  I know GPS work at my home location.  I have never had an issue getting directions, even from a Google phone from my home address.

What is even more strange my laptops map my location correctly.  My other devices map my location correctly as well.  Just my desktop computers.
