This free simple tool can be useful for situations where text files generate the maps, they can be imported and exported as simple files for sharing.
You can import the data file used to create am Ontario Extend Mind Map, where you can see the relationship between the outline and the map.
What Does it Do?
Software developer Tobias Løfgren created this web tool based on the Text2Mindmap.com web site that is no longer around. You can create a map structure directly in the web tool, using tabs to designate hierarchical relationships. Colors can be edited and via the options can be set to represent level or connection.
A very handy aspect is that maps are saved as simple text files, so they could be easily shared or used as assignment responses, or edited outside of the app.
