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.
