Et voila--problem solved. Now when I ask Skippy to take me home, it actually does.
Glad it all worked out. As stated I figured it would not be instantaneous whatsoever but also did not expect it to take several days for the car to realize it was not within the right region based on the Connected Drive settings. Thank God though you didn't have to wait for the quarterly map update which if memory serves is the BMW SLA on that. More so you avoided a conversation with the lack of Genius aka the Genius service desk.
