I'm looking for somethinh where you can import a heightmap and it generates rivers on the heightmap to show where they would be  located. If anyone knows of any or something similar, please do share with me!

I don't know of a method for adding rivers to heightmaps or the maps generated by the planet generator.  I do know of a method for generating square maps with rivers and fjords, albeit with noticeable artefacts caused by subdividing only along vertical, horizontal, and diagonal lines.  If you send me an email, I can send you an unpublished paper about the method.

I think that you can import a heightmap into Azgaar's Fantasy Map Generator and have it generate rivers, among many other things.
