Template System
Do you Mind Map the same things time and time again? Your ‘To Do’ list, your project plan, brainstorming triggers, a meeting agenda, your goals, or perhaps your business projections? Well now you can create your own iMindMap Templates which can be stored and accessed within the new inbuilt Templates System.
iMindMap will also allow you to import iMindMap Template Packs easily so you don’t have to start from scratch. iMindMap V4.1 includes 21 templates covering business, education and personal development.

Presentation View
Do you want to design, create and deliver effective, impressive and powerful presentations? Well iMindMap Ultimate’s Presentation View is your answer. It smoothly animates your Mind Map branch by branch for you at a click of a button, providing a unique and dynamic presentation that is sure to make your audience sit up and take notice.
Not only can you zoom, pan and link but the two screen option provides a Presenter’s View displaying your notes and a host of other tools to make sure you stay calm, cool and collected during even the toughest of presentations.
V4.1 Improvements: iMindMap can now be set up so that your file and web page links are automatically opened for you; get specific and start your presentation from any point in your Map; become multi-sensory and play any of your audio notes to your audience within Presentation View, and we have improved and enhanced the user interface to make things even quicker.

Improved Speed
When your brain is bursting with ideas, and thoughts speed through your head, make sure you have a tool that keeps up! iMindMap V4.1 has improved power, making it faster and more responsive so that you’ll never lose a thought or idea again.

Audio Notes
Record and add Audio Notes to your branches to help capture ideas quickly without hindering the creative process. This feature also includes the additional auto-record facility which allows you to Mind Map, whilst in the background iMindMap listens and records what you ‘say’ for you to review later on.
iMindMap V4.1 also allows you to export your Audio Notes as .wav files so that you can use, share or manipulate them quickly and easily outside of iMindMap.
This is a great tool for group brainstorming sessions when lots of ideas are being captured and many authors find it useful when Mind Mapping plots and storylines.
