Wondering if there is a way top correct errors on the map. I've found several on specific shared trails. Campgrounds off by 1/4 mile. Elevation gains on highlighted trails may be off by a huge margin. Some of these errors could prove harmful to an unwitting hiker.

  Hey @mtnmanmike,
  
  Gaia Topo, as well as several other sources in the app, are based on OpenStreetMap data, an Open-source and public mapping project.
  
  You can actually contribute to OSM in order to add trails and correct features to the map. Read more about this and find instructions here: Contribute to OpenStreetMap
  
  If you decide to contribute any updates to OpenStreetMap, you'll see the changes in Gaia GPS in two to three weeks.
