Hi Leslie,
Unfortunately you can not change the center, your maps in your area
could be off, but then again maybe not, it could be GPS error to, or
a combination of the two.
The problem is if you start adding your own POIs and then put this
offset in, then all of a sudden your POIs which you use to be able to
get to directly would now be off by this new imposed offset, so this
is why we don't allow you to adjust your Lat/Lon readings from the
GPS receiver. If we did then users could start messing with it
"Thinking" they are making things better when in fact they have just
made them worse, especially when you do travel and you are at
locations which are perfectly accurate and you forgot that you have
this offset on and it would mess up your readings. Even POIs
recorded are from third parties so any POI we announce would be
affected by this offset Lat/Lon reading and we would have one heck of
a time figuring out if its POI error, GPS error, Map Error, or Offset Error.
Sorry.

You did not answer my question. So I will ask again.
How could I adjust or make the GPS to true center? I think it is about 43
feet off the center.
