In Norway that can easily be a problem with the official (https://www.norgeskart.no) maps as well. In some areas, unused paths will quickly deteriorate and I don't think all (if any) map-providers have good procedures to detect this. Decent foot paths in the wild is not always easily visible on satellite imagery, so relying on that alone wouldn't work.

It would be nice if openstreetmap-based apps had an easy way to mark a path or section of a path as low visibility[1]
