1. NAME - LINK
AuditMyPC - Free Sitemap Generator
http://www.AuditMyPC.com/free-sitemap-generator.asp

2. PURPOSE
Generate an XML Sitemap

3. FREE or PAID
Free - and there's no URL limit to the number of URLs.

4. WHAT I LIKE
I discovered this free tool from Google's published list of sitemap tools. It does much more than merely generate a sitemap. It offers a lot of functionality that helps analyze and troubleshoot a site.

For instance, it finds duplicate URLs, reports on http status from the headers, lists mime types, title elements, allows all kind of crawling customization, runs desktop or on the server, and the interface gives lots of sort-by-field functionality. One of the nifty extras is that it shows, page by page, the internal linking structure of the site: total incoming and outgoing links for each page. Very useful for setting <priority> of course, but clearly it has a lot more value than just that.

5. WHAT NEEDS IMPROVING
Nothing I've run into, at least as far as generating either xml or txt sitemaps. This tool is well on its way to being a full-blown SEO analysis tool.
