Obviously, I can't spill the beans on what we're working on at the moment, but rest assured, a number of your suggestions are already in the works. Regarding your suggestion of creating a 'Master Map', have a look at <a href="http://blog.mindmeister.com/2009/11/25/meistertip-1-adding-links/" rel="nofollow">MeisterTip #1</a>. You can create a master map by linking to all of your other maps, and include any number of icons or images with our WunderBild tool, or select them yourself. Thanks for the comment and suggestions Si.

Another feature which would be good would be the ability to drag nodes between maps open in tabs. I guess browser capabilities may prevent this as this is no doubt something that could only be achieved if the mindmapping software was local. Generally, I'd love to see more features. You probably want to keep the interface simple but, maybe an 'Advanced' button could take users through to a set of additional capabilities such as: '3D' Mapping, there's only one supplier of this, it's desktop software and it's pretty unattractive. Folders for maps, easy to do I guess, would be invaluable if you have lots of maps. The ability to add text to the 'Connect' lines. Embed YouTube videos as you can pictures, to play within the browser. When you find an image on the web and place it in a map, for that image to automatically download into your account. Often images found on the web will not appear in your map if they are later moved/amended, so you get a blank image area on your maps. Have an 'overview' map, that would like all maps together in one map (maybe using icons), makes sense to display map choices in a map rather than in a traditional list format.I hope this helps.
