Creating a Simple Map in Manifold 7.x
On James Fee illustratrates the steps needed to create a simple map using Manifold. Particulary interesting is the running commentary on his experience in using this software. Current ESRI software users that are trying out Manifold will be able to relate to his reaction to using Manifold.
Common Tasks in ArcGIS 8.3 and Manifold 6
A little out of date but still useful, this PDF paper from Cornell compares the performance of common tasks between ArcGIS and Manifold software. The paper isn’t meant to hype either product but can be used as a “cheat sheet” in learning common functions.

Manifold Discussion List
Discussion list hosted by Directions Magazine for Manifold users.
Manifold Free Data
US and World time zones available for free downloading in Manifold format.
Manifold GIS Tutorials
This is a set of three tutorials that demonstrate how to link a database to Manifold, how to use database content to deliver thematic output and how to enhance a presentation through a Google satellite image layer. The material leverages a database behind a field data collection system but the principles apply to any system that is designed to deliver data to a database (even MS Access).
Manifold Training
If you’re looking to enhance your Manifold GIS knowledge, this web site provides training videos.

Be wary of Manifold GIS – support is provided via verbose web pages & emails only. After re-building/migrating machines a few times I some how used the 5 activation keys (was not able to de-activate old machines!) forcing me to move to another GIS system.
Ben – spend a penny, get a result.
