I know how to become a member, I could not find out what the advantage of becoming a active member is (typing in all caps is a lazy typist or a bad typist, has nothing to do with yelling)

Sure I can tell you

As an Active User you get the company of this fine community membership on a daily basis, and that makes the red light and speed camera files just a side benefit along with all the other fine files available to you. And of course it all Leeds you to making your own contributions to the POI Files, then Bam your a General Maintainer.
