Nuvi 50lm Not In Sync

my nuvi is not in sync with the area I am in when I pluged in my home address  it fell short of getting me home by about 1/10 of a mile.  My old Garmin takes me right home my only problem with the old Garmin is sometimes it will not power on. I downloaded the maps and it said I was up to date on maps and software I did do this on my Mac computer and was wondering if there was a issue using a Mac to update.
