Is there a way it tool to use shapefiles to update the #openstreetmap ? I have some channel extracted from a DEM I want to add to a woodland.
Happy about a boost and looking forward to your answers!

If you want to keep track of tracks and other points on a map, I cannot recommend Maptrails by @pasi enough.
It imports GPX files from a folder; lets you place markers with custom names, icons, colors, notes; offers many different map providers; can draw on the map using an Apple Pencil; records tracks; downloads offline maps; is very configurable; requires no account; and can do many more things that I don’t use.

I disagree with the NPR's headline...
But this is true: "At least eight of Camp Mystic's buildings are located within FEMA's designated floodway, a dangerous area expected to see high velocity water. Four of the buildings are camp cabins that housed younger campers."
