'09 Nav Screen Trouble?
Last night I started my car and the navigation screen was completely blank although the radio was on. I pushed all of the function buttons with no luck. After about 20 minutes I pulled over, turned off the ignition and restarted the engine. The screen came to life as normal. Does anyone have a clue as to what is going on.

It might mean there's a problem, might not....it happens sometimes. FYI, there is a TSB for '07-'09 Navs that might apply to yours. Here's a thread with info, the TSB is in post 3:

Thanks for the heads-up. I'll monitor and if the problem continues I'll have to have the dealer reprogram it. I had been afraid the whole system needed replacement and it's 9 days out of warranty.

We had the problem several times on our 2009, always in cold weather. Dealer did the bulletin over a year ago, no problem since then.

As soon as the car warmed up a little the screen appeared.
It may have been coincidence that it was cold.
TSB - My 36/36K is gone since mine is a 2008 (in service 2007). Is the TSB service still covered or will I need to pay for it?

My guess is that officially, you'd have to pay for yourself. A TSB is not the same as a recall, it's just info to help the tech solve a problem.
If you already have a good relationship with the dealer, and they haven't lost their free copy of the software update disc, they might be nice and do it free or at least pretty cheaply. Especially if you get something else done at the same time. But that idea only works if you can trust the dealer to do good work.
