This week we're recognizing Melaqueman.
Back in June, he started a thread seeking information about how to add POI files to the built-in nav system in his Volkswagen. (http://www.poi-factory.com/node/46284)
Even though the initial suggestions didn't work out, Melaqueman continued looking for an answer and finally found one, which he shared this week.
