I've played many RPGs where your quest journal fills out like a story of your progress, and I think that is just awesome. However, I do wish the game could keep much more detailed entries of each quest. Personally, I do use GPS and I don't mind it. You could maybe ask the quest giver where you might find him - "Oh, he runs the shop" - or get to the town and ask a guard - "That drunken scoundrel is always behind the inn!" Even quests like "deliver this to in " shouldn't give you pinpoint accuracy on the person. But so many quests a guy says "oh, some bandit robbed me, go kill him/get my item" and suddenly you know exactly where this guy is. Occasionally an NPC says "here, I'll mark it on your map." Fair enough, and I could reference my map then find it on my own without GPS. But it doesn't even make sense half the time. Most of the time the only way to find anything is with your GPS. Instead we get a minimal description of the entire quest (I've already forgotten most of the details by the time I get around to them) and the bullet points are simply "get ". What have you done? Why? Where is this location? In and of itself, these "descriptions" are what should constitute the bullet points, while the journal should describe the details of the quest. Even for the larger quests, it usually boils down to "Talk to at " followed by " told you to get from ".
The problem in Skyrim, however, is that the so called Quest Journal is actually just an Objective Tracker. You could turn off the markers and for the most part were free to adventure, explore, and find the right place on your own. This wasn't too much of a problem in Oblivion, as you had a quest journal that would detail aspects of your quests, where to go, etc. There's a lot of people that don't mind it and find it helps streamline their gameplay, but there's also a large group of people that don't want to be told so precisely where to go and would rather figure it out for themselves. The whole GPS thing in Skyrim (and Oblivion) has been somewhat controversial.
