This is the 3rd revision of memory map visualization tools list where I include IDA Pro and a visualizer from Debug Analyzer.NET (every category is presented in chronological order of my encounter with links):

1. Synthetic

• Numerous debuggers / disassemblers that show memory maps for easy navigation, for example, IDA Pro
• VMMap
• KernelMAP v0.0.1
• MemSpyy
• Virtual memory usage and GC heap usage
• Plugin and / or script-driven visualizers: Debug Analyzer.NET

2. Natural

a. Static

• Dump2Picture (Windows)
• dump2pic (Linux)
• 2D and 3D visualization using general-purpose tools like ParaView.

b. Semi-dynamic

• WinDbg scripts

c. Dynamic

• Haywire

Please let me know any other approaches or links you know.
