Wat ik tijdens een mapathon vaak laat zien, als men een uurtje bezig is geweest is: https://osmlab.github.io/show-me-the-way/bbox.html. je zoomt daarbij in op het gebied waar gemapt wordt, kopieer dan de coordinaten die onder in beeld komen naar de zoekbalk. Je ziet dan alles wat naar OSM wordt ge-upload in beeld met de OSM naam van degene die aan het uploaden is.
