Hello, I really enjoy OneNote 2010 however I'm a bit curious if anything that mashes OneNote and Mind Mapping technology exist. The only thing I've found is for an older version of OneNote and for a ludicris price of $350. Any leads would be greatly appreciated, Thanks and Best Regards, Howard

You could do it with OneNote - use the hyperlinks in OneNote to connect ideas.  You could even use the Wikilinks feature to create new pages and link those.

If you want to draw boxes and lines you can do it, though OneNote isn't perhaps the most elegant solution for that and occasionally the lines can get moved awkwardly if you add things above or around them.

    I just bought the GEM add-in because it didn't work for me not to have this capability.  It is okay, kind of clunky but better than not having it or drawing it from scratch.  Good luck!

    Onenote = Best piece of software MS has produced

    Mindmapping = Best way for human minds to map out ideas and projects

    Surface Pro/Ink = Bestway to create and input Mindmaps into Onenote

    Onennote + Mindmapping + Touchdevice/Ink = Most powerful personal(even professional) productivty tool.......IF.......MS develop it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Yet another vote for MindMapping.

    I'm an MD/PhD student, and the first student to use a windows tablet with onenote for all my medical school notes and research activity.

    I can tell you its setting a trend cause frankly, IPad's and even windows tablets without a wiacom pen do not compare to what I am able to do with my Samsung Series 7 tablet using onenote.

    I know at least 4 others that have made a transition to use OneNote on their laptops instead of their IPads...HOWEVER!!

    #1 complaint is the LACK of an integrated MindMapper: I understand linking onenote pages and the like, however, OneNote needs a mindmapper that allows future editing without loosing structure/connections as you would with a makeshift mind-map via inking.

    You wanted customer Feedback, here it is. Add a feature packed integrated MindMapper to OneNote.

    P.S. I'm on the verge of purchasing that GEM Add in solely for the MindMap feature...however it doesn't seem to let me try it before I buy it.

    Hello Jensness, 

    I cannot agree more.

    I am a big fan of MS One Note and a mind mapping feature is exactly what I am searching for, but unfortunately there are no good solution for that at the moment.

    Hope that Microsoft can come up with something soon.

    I have been an Android geek for a long time, but want to buy a Windows tab just because that will fit better for my business purpose.
