Well, to redo your location, I need to delete your old icon first.
Then, you need to zoom in real close on the location, down as far as
you can. Do that BEFORE placing your next marker. Just keep on
zooming in, down to your location. You can often zoom down to street
level. Putting the map setting on hybrid can often help in finding
"your" house, as well.
Only AFTER you do this, do you place your marker. If you place the
marker before this, you end up in weird places, like the ocean.

You can move the map with your mouse, if you hold down on the left
mouse button and move the map. That way, you can keep on zooming down
to a specific spot.

Hope this helps a bit.
