Hi
Yes there is!
OSM is a 'crowd-sourcing' project.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crowd_sourcing
The users of the map are encouraged to contribute to it by adding to the
data.
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Beginners%27_Guide
A popular way is to collect the routes & POI's using a GPS unit &
uploading the data it produces.
Alternatively, Walking Papers, where you can print off an area &
annotate it with details of your walk.
http://walking-papers.org/
I also find a camera & pencil/paper to be invaluable as an aide-mémoire..
Cheers
Dave F.
>>> There is no detail on the map because there’s no detail on OpenStreetMap which we are using as a base. I don’t think we can do anything about this.
