Welcome to the forum. Please read the information at http://www.benzworld.org/forums/w220-s-class/1388032-note-your-moderator-play-nice.html especially post #5.
Second you must determine whether the nav system installed in your car is a "C" nav or a "D" nav. They require different CDs - you can't use CDs for one in the other. To see how to determine what kind of system you have, see the W220 S-Class Encyclopedia sticky, in the same section as the link I gave you above (toward the top of the first W220 forum page). Look at the "Navigation" section.
Last, especially if you have "D" nav, you may find individual discs available from members of this forum; do a search. You may get them on ebay (check the Encyclopedia for the part numbers you need); or, you can buy the set from your dealer.
"C" nav discs will be hard to find.
You have correctly determined that you need nav CDs. Don't buy any of the nav DVDs that are available. Your car cannot use them.

Nav Disk Availability...
FWIW:
Latest report I have, which may not be accurate, is that Nav Disk(CD's) updates for the D version of Command(DB2 and MOPF) have been discontinued, with the most current and last update dated 04/2011. If you are willing to drop $300, and search, you can find a disk update from a dealer. They are only available as a set of 10.

The "D" nav discs are no longer offered by the manufacturer, NavTeq; one is told to contact the dealer to buy them. That tends to indicate they are being or have been discontinued, so your information may be correct.
But before spending $300, wescoass really needs to determine whether he has "C" or "D" nav. It is very simple to do (it may require that he already have at least one disc).
If he has no disc at all, then he can check the date if manufacture of his car on the plate inside the driver's door. The changeover month from "C" to "D" was during November, 1999. Unfortunately I do not have the exact date. Cars made during the first half of Nov. 1999 or earlier are likely "C" nav. My '00 was manufactured in the last week of Nov '99 and had "D" nav. However, because the nav system may have been replaced due to malfunction in intervening years, a car made before the changeover could potentially have the newer system.
If he has "C" nav, the last of those sets was released in early '04.
