Big Maps
Mar 17
Let’s talk about big maps.
First question: What is a big map? In other words, when you think "This is a big map!", what makes you think that? Is it just the number of topics? The size when expanded? The behavior of MindManager when you are working with it? Where do you draw the line?
Second question: What is in your big maps? Do all your maps become big, or just some of them? Why do some maps get big and others stay small?
Third question: What do you do with your big maps? Do you break them up, or do they just get bigger and bigger?
Fourth question: What would you like to do with your big maps? Do you wish for specific features or abilities to deal with big maps better than you do today?
The floor is yours.
(If you responded to this in the MindManager Yahoo group, thanks! No need to repeat yourself here.)
Mindjet is ecstatic to announce the completion of a 5-year process using MindManager to plan an extraordinary ’Ice Warrior’ epic expedition which is taking place during March and April this year.

This latest expedition with a team of novices, marshalled by world famous Arctic-explorer, Jim McNeill, will attempt an extreme polar journey that will thoroughly explore the North West Passage. Jim will then return to his base camp in Resolute Bay, the second most northerly community in Canada, before attempting to reach the Northern Pole of Inaccessibility in a crucial scientific exploration of the Arctic Ocean, by aircraft. The pole otherwise known as the Arctic Pole, has never before been reached and stands as the very last World First in Polar history.

The planning for this epic journey started in 2003 under the leadership of Jim and with the use of MindManager. The product was used to manage logistics and critical contingency measures, down to extreme detail, during the preparation of this human endurance test.
