Here's http://mashupforge.com/map/skyrim/#x=-0.96675100&y=-0.79101563&z=3 I found.

I always use the http://www.uesp.net/maps/srmap/srmap.shtml. Every location links to the article on it, and it drills down so much that you can see every ore deposit.

I like that one too, but it's more Google Earth Skyrim, this one is more Google Maps. It's got the roads and bridges clearly marked.

That's cool, KC! Nice find. I still use maps as little as possible, except for the paper map (the one that comes with the game). AS you may know, I went to Kinkos and made a couple of 11x17 color copies one day, then taped them together. I'm not even sure if this is legal to do, so thank goodness for self-serve copiers!

Anyways, I can write and make little notations on this copied map about where to go next and whatnot. But maybe I'll start using this Google Earth Skyrim map if I've got a magic-using character who can "see" all the little details.

Thanks, KC and SubRosa! I’ve been using a non-interactive version of the one in KC’s link, and the interactive one is an improvement. I already love the search function.

I had never looked at the UESP Skyrim map but I use the Cyrodiil one all the time. Not for the game, but for writing about it.

I’m kind of a map junkie. I love maps.

I never use a map or try to use it as less as possible. If I get a quest that requires me to travel to certain location and it magically appears on my map, then I open the map and write down basic directions to reach that location, e.g. follow the road to X and turn north on the crossroad with Y, then when you reach point Z, continue east all the time.

I do this because I pretend that directions were given to my character written on a paper.

I use quest markers on the map but not on compass, I have compass completely disabled. But I only take a look at map once (that is when I get a quest and location magically appears on my map) and write down directions. If I get lost on my way there, too bad but I don't look on the map again.

I always use the UESP Wiki map. Every location links to the article on it, and it drills down so much that you can see every ore deposit.

The UESP Wiki just started using a second, http://srmap.uesp.net/. It still has all the same stuff as the original black and white version (which you can still get to btw). But it looks so much nicer.

Very nice, thanks for sharing!
