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.
