Nav with 2008 map disc, crashing??

Anyone using the new 2008 Navtech Map disc having any problems with it?

My 2007 disc never had this issue, but the 2008 disc crashes every few weeks. By "crashes" I mean, in the middle of navigating somewhere, the system will first hang for about 2 mintues (can't move cursor or anything), and then it resets and reboots (the big mini logo shows up as if I just turned on the car). The car keeps running fine, it just seems like the computer gets "stuck" and then re-boots itself.

This has occured to me 3 or 4 times in the past month. The previous 8 months with the 2007 disc in, it had not occurred.

Has anyone else seen this problem?

Perhaps you received a defective disc?--or perhaps it's scratched?

When was the new version released, where did you get it, and how much did you pay?

I noticed the Navteq website still doesn't list anything newer than 2006 for the Minis. Is the 2008 update you got the one for the BMW? Mabye it really isn't compatible.

I would try Navteq and see if you can get a replacement disc to make sure it's not just a defective disc.

Maybe it's MINI's way of getting back at you.

Did you switch back to the 2007 disc or have you found another fix for this problem?
