CMAP Tools is probably better at fast layout and capture of ideas but VUE is more expressive. I have not received any spam E-mail from IHMC.ĬMAP Tools is a good program but in my opinion for individual use VUE is even better.
A portable version is also available which can run from a USB memory stick.ĬMAP Tools is free to download but you must first provide your details and a valid E-mail address.
CMAPTOOLS BREW MAC OS X
There are versions of CMAP Tools for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. Compendium is the next best and it’s multi user facilities are not as good although it comes close in my opinion. Of all the programs reviewed here this one probably has the best facilities for supporting multiple users. It also has facilities for placing annotations on the map, making suggestions and setting up discussion threads (similar to a bulletin board or forum) to facilitate communications between separate users/viewers of the same map. There are several public servers which can store your CMAPs so that they might be shared with others and IHMC provides the server software so that you can set up your own private server so that maps may be shared within an organisation.ĬMAP Tools when used with the server software supports simultaneous collaborative editing of maps so that several people can edit the same map at the same time. In the documentation there is a heavy emphasis on collaboration and the sharing of maps. CMAP Tools is a concept mapping program from IHMC (the Institute for Human and Machine Cognition) in Florida.
