A mind map is a diagram used to visually organize information while A flowchart is a type of diagram that represents an algorithm, workflow or process.

Explanation:

A mind map is a diagram used to visualize and organize information. It usually focuses around a single concept (which makes it different from concept mapping where it is used to compare 2 or more concepts). The subject is drawn at the center and its underlying ideas are branched out of it.

Whereas, a flowchart is another type of diagram that represents an algorithm, workflow or process, illustrating a solution to a given problem. The steps are shown in different shapes depending on its purpose. They are connected with an arrow. Flowcharts are used in analyzing, designing, documenting, or managing a process or program in various fields (like IT programming or electrical engineering).
