In their latest InkShow they walk you through a real life example of how to use MindManager as a dashboard to plan all aspects of a tropical Caribbean cruise.

You’ll be walked through how to quickly and  you can create a travel packing list, activities to plan on your vacation, inserting flight information into your map, managing your hotel and reviewing your vital last minute travel checklist before you embark.

This InkShow is sponsored by TechSmith, makers of Camtasia Studio software.

Check out this interview Dan Kelsden, of BizTech Talk, held with Nick Duffill of Gyronix, on GyroQ’s extended functionality for MindManager. GyroQ  that makes it easy to capture ideas and send them to MindManager maps. It runs with or without MindManager open, and will capture an idea or action and put it on a special queue. The next time you go into MindManager, you can then empty the queue into a "Daily Capture" map for sorting and action. A great way to use it is to capture comments and questions during a presentation, then turn them into a map and answer them all at the end of the session.

Chris Heard, an Associate Professor of Religion and Blogger at Higgaion, has written a pretty extensive product piece comparing MindManager 7 Mac with NovaMind 4. Chris believes "the improvements in MindManager 7 outstrip those in NovaMind 4. MindManager 7 is easier to use and more Mac-like than NovaMind 4."

The blog posting includes some head-on comparisons between MindManager and NovaMind’s user interfaces, user friendliness, features/capabilities. In conclusion, Chris offers a final thought: "MindManager 7 has so many advantages over NovaMind 4 Pro that it will almost certainly become my mind mapping software of choice."

Macworld published a review of MindManager 7 Mac today ranking it 4 ½ mice out of 5- that’s a tail growth from last year!  MindManager 7 moved up in rating from the also highly regarded MindManager 6 Mac, which received 4 out of 5 mice.

The review lists quite a few “Pros” of MindManager 7 Mac, including several product features:

“Outline view allows you to easily switch between different organizing principles; many new export formats; easy to move data to and from outline and project-management applications; better printing options.”

The article also highlights the more technical aspects of MindManager Mac’s product improvements such as version 7’s ability to export to a OPML (Outline Processor Markup Language) file. This capability now allows customers to modify outlines in programs like OmniGroup’s OmniOutliner. The article also focused on some of MindManager 7’s project planning integration ( listing FastTrack Schedule and Project Wizard as examples).
