Surveying with a GPS is one of the methods. Most of the OSM editors
provide an aerial imagery from Bing. What is more important is your
local knowledge.

You can check this wiki page:

Always check the OSM source dates. When you change something in the
OSM database, it needs time until it is propagated to your
application.
