    The agency in charge of the area should have reliable trail maps available online.

      So, the proposal would just to make it more difficult to access trail maps? Seems like that wouldn’t be advantageous in scenarios like mine.

        I don’t what country you’re in but in the US it’s not a proposal. They absolutely have these maps available for free online and at visitor/ranger stations.

          Yeah, but the original comment was talking about getting rid of accessibility to those trail maps/gps

            I see. Yeah I don’t think that’s a good idea.
