In my case, and I assume most others, the titles I put on my printed maps are not directly correlated with any object in the center of the map. For example, I have two printed maps I create that cover one mountain. I label one something like “Mountain East” and the other something like “Mountain West”. The peak has a name of “Mountain” but there is nothing in the OSM database with “Mountain East” or “Mountain West”. Those are simply names I created out of thin air to describe to me what the maps cover.

Just in case it was unclear: this is asking about the title of a map 
that itself is being mapped because it's posted publicly, not the title 
of a map created from OSM data.

(Or maybe the map on the board _is_ based on OSM data, in which case it 
needs to be updated to show its own location and title. ;-) )
