An official interactive map is now available for iTunes users in the US, and it's a clever little thing -- free to download, with users then buying access to map information as they so choose.

Users can see the locations of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim's capital cities without paying a cent, regardless of whether they have discovered them in the game.

Anything else, and adventurers in need of navigational tutelage will be ponying up $0.99 per category
-- anything from interiors to primary locations, hidden treasures, points of interest and even potential spouses -- and, from a certain point of view, that makes sense, considering that Prima's Official Strategy Guide weighs in at $27.

The app goes up against not only fan-made maps of the game world, but also another iTunes offering by the name of Dragon Shout which, though at this point a simpler affair, is currently free of charge from start to finish.
