You could always download a large PDF of the entire world of Skyrim and either print that out or clumsily navigate it on your phone, or you could wait for Dragon Shout, an upcoming interactive map for iOS. "The first version of the app contains an interactive map where you can drop annotated markers / journal entries down," the developer told Touch Arcade. "For example, yesterday I played Skyrim and left a bunch of dragon scales and bones on the side of a mountain because they were too heavy."
Even better, future updates plan to incorporate a social aspect, allowing "marker sharing, party or app-wide chats, pictures, and more." Want to tell your friend to "STAY AWAY" from that one cave you got whomped in? Or maybe, for the devious amongst you, encourage them to "CHECK OUT" said cave?
The app has been submitted to Apple and "should be out within the next couple of days" for both iPhone and iPad. With a $0 asking price, you can't really go wrong, can you?

"tell your friends to keep away from that one cave you got whomped in". Like dark souls only not included in the actual game. Whoopee

That's why you always have a strength potion handy. Never know when you'll come across a dragon who's bones you'll need to lug around.

This is exactly what the game should have had. An ability to place comments on multiple markers.

As I understand it, non-mainstory caves and such are scaled to the level you first enter them at. So if you enter it at 50 and get beat up, then tell your buddy to enter it to be mischievous and he enters it at level 10, he'll probably mop the place up no problem.

Hope it'll come to the 'Droid, since I will never own an Apple product.

Well yeah less people played dark souls but my point is that it has an intuitive feature that brings a sense of community. I try to enjoy skyrim but you are always reminded that you are alone in what is undeniably a vast world. Being able to leave markers a bit like hobos would have been a great addition to the gameplay in skyrim imo
