Map templates can help you get a jump-start on creating a new map, and help you standardize the content of maps that you create frequently. MindManager comes with a set of commonly-used templates that appear automatically whenever you start a new map from the File tab menu. You can modify any of these templates to better suit your needs, or create your own templates.
