Should Skyrim have a map more like Oblivion's?

The map is the one true disappointment I have with the game. Not only does the map have very little in terms of road layout, but half the time, my map seems to be covered in gorram clouds.

Despite over 200+ hours in this game, I still haven't managed to find any decent shortcuts over mountains, so I'm hoofing it on the roads 90% of the time.

I thought the paper map that came with the game had roads, but it turns out they were only Hold boundaries.

However, I still have it hanging on my wall for a quick visual.

It has the roads as well. The red dotted lines are hold boundaries, the black lines are roads.

It just feels a little gimmicky because you can't see the most important thing... roads.
