Given that it is apparently no longer possible to purchase maps from NAVTEQ, perhaps we're being a bit mean to him?
If you put the disc in a PC (be careful, as you never know what sort of nasties people put in files on file-sharing sites), you should find a file named ABSTRACT in the root directory. While this doesn't have the 200x.y version number, it does tell you when the map was built. For example, the 2009.1 says:
Code:
F:\>type ABSTRACT
