An unusual dispute arose from the trail maps – four municipalities demanded the removal of data from a well-known trail service

Four municipalities in Finland have requested the removal of their trail information from the ladulle.fi service, citing the existence of their own official platform for updated trail data.

In Finland, a unique conflict has emerged involving four municipalities—Kuopio, Kuusamo, Sotkamo, and Mikkeli—who have formally requested the removal of their skiing trail data from the ladulle.fi service. The founder and operator of the website, Roman Sirokov, revealed that these local governments justified their requests by pointing out that they maintain their own official services providing up-to-date trail information. For instance, Kuopio's communication highlighted concerns that the presence of their trails on ladulle.fi might negatively impact the city's reputation, an issue reflected in an email seen by Yle.
