How about Inxight's Site Lens
<http://www.inxight.com/products_wb/site_lens/index.html>? I've only seen
the results, not tried to make one myself yet, but the hyperbolic display
applet is impressively responsive as you scan different areas of a large
site. A static map seems to have to represent increasing complexity with
smaller and smaller boxes, and/or by a kludgy complexity selector, as in
the example Gordon cited.
On the downside, I don't think Site Lens generates a textual outline of
the site. And for smaller projects, I'd like to have a site mapper that
generates textual outlines or graphical maps that don't require plugins or
Java to view.

Hi,
Anybody know of an automatic website mapping tool that actually works?
Free would also be good.
I've tried several which range from 0 to -5 on a scale of 0-10. :)
http://www.rewgroup.com/SiteMap/sitemap.html -- best example I've found...
Definition: a tool which scans the links etc of an existing wensite and
creates a pictorial representation.
That rep should also be viewable as an outline as well as a structured
map.
any ideas?
Thanks.
