So, I went back to Amazon with full details of the whole saga, they said 'send it back to us',I'm guessing that's because I'm a Prime customer (or just lucky).
I took the unit out of the car, sent it back and have now had a full refund - I wish I'd done this sooner!
I'm going to buy a Pioneer unit from a local independant store who can fit it and seem to care about their customers.

I'm now left with an unreliable unit. My only solution seems to be to trip it out and put something more reliable in.

Google maps took an age figure out, customer service sent me an link to down load a new mapping app but I just couldn't figure it out and gave up. Instead I installed Waze which seems to work much better. This go me to thinking if it wasn't the underlying operating system that is at fault because Waze and Google Play throw up the same error messages I was gettibgbwith Google Maps.
So, the question is, how do i debug these errors and is there an update for the base software that I can try?

In fact the google map which is preinstalled on the unit before we send out is tested successfully.So i don't know which version should be write.More query,you can contact the customer service.And if you don't mind,they can send you the offline IGO map.

That got me to thinking that maybe I should roll back Google maps to the original version, this worked and I was able to use it without it crashing, of course it's a very old version. The problem doing this is that this version of maps doesn't store maps and so used a lot of data.
I struggled along with this for a few months but ended upgrading Google maps and we're back to the poor start and multiple crashes when Google Maps starts
What versions of Google Maps should work?

Regarding the firmware,it is strange.Here is another version of the firmware.You can have a try.

If you occur the same error,you can use a thin stick to click the RST hole to reset the unit and flash the unit again.

Hers the output of the update failure.
Also, here is the system information on my unit.
And finally, here is the WiFi issue info, the image shows my iPhone, called 'jPhone' connected but showing no signal. It connected OK at the start of the journey then about 45 mins in I noticed Maps was not inline, I was able to pull over and saw that the Pumpkin had dropped the WiFi connection. I turned Pumpkin WiFi off and on again, it re-established the connection and kept for about another 1 hour before the same thing happened. I took the pictures with the same iPhone, 6S running iOS version 11.0.3 (15A432), it's model number is MKQJ2B/A

I'll have to check the details of the Android phone when my wife comes home with it!
Apologies for the images being turned 90 degrees, the forum software seems to do that and I don't know how to correct it!
