CmapTools overview
The CmapTools program empowers users to construct, navigate, share and criticize knowledge models represented as concept maps. Among many other features, it allows users to construct their Cmaps in their personal computer, share them on servers (CmapServers) anywhere on the Internet, link their Cmaps to other Cmaps on servers, automatically create Web pages of their concept maps on servers, edit their maps synchronously (at the same time) with other users on the Internet, and search the Web for information relevant to a concept map.
The CmapTools client is free for use by anybody, whether its use is commercial or non-commercial. In particular, schools and universities are encouraged to download it and install it in as many computers as desired, and students and teachers may make copies of it and install it at home. (Commercial companies that install their own CmapServer do need to get a separate license for a CmapTools client that will talk to the commercial version of the CmapServer).
Note: While the software is classified as free, it is actually donationware. Please consider making a donation to help support development.

The reason why CMAP is so good and I am going back to it after trying out "mind mapping" software such as Novamind and other online tools such as mindomo.com is because it is true CONCEPT mapping.
The difference is the ability to write on the arrows and have true links between items in different parts of the map.
Other mind map programs are really a graphical version of a bullet point list and that is why they can be exported to a neat text version. CMAP is more than that.
I "wanted" to use/like novamind but as a teacher I want more links between parts of the map and have useful text on those links.

This program is free.
Inspiration is $69.
For free, I'm willing to overlook a lot of the missing features and shortcomings.
This pretty handy for what it is.
I'm not understanding the other reviews.
