'08 factory navigation

I just purchased an '08 F350 with the factory navigation. There was no CD that came with it, and when trying to select the nav option, it says 'Invalide Disc Detected', when there is nothing in it anyway.

The place I bought the truck from says that the CD needs to be in for the nav to work. Is that true?
And which CD should I get, I see there are a number of options on Ebay with different versions.

Thanks for any help!

CD has to be in all the time for it to work. Run the most up dated, I will look up # later and put on site.

Thanks guys. I was reading through the manual and looking at the ones on Ebay.

Still debating the cost of the most up-to-date CD vs. an older one, are there different features or just the 'most up-to-date' maps?

I have an older map (4p i think). I've only used the navigation a few times, since I just bought the truck a month ago. I got to my destination each time following the arrows, but once I got close, it said guidance not available in this area. is this normal, as you get really close (a number of very short distances between turns) for the voice guidance to go off, or is it cause the map is old. It still found the actual street address accurately, the route turned yellow, and it said "guidance unavailable, use caution, etc"
