OpenStreetMap
I intend to do edits on Cobb County Georgia, but I’m very new to this. One thing I noticed immediately is that “Veterans Memorial Highway” has been mislabeled “Veterans Memorial Parkway.” I edited one instance of the label, but I’m not yet sure that it took, or that it covered all instances. I’ll muddle through the documentation and figure it out, though.
I’m starting with South Cobb (Mableton/Austell) because that’s where I live, but plan to work my way northward up the county.

Hi Larry,
Welcome to OpenStreetMap!
Regarding the changing to ‘take’: your edits are instantly available to the public as soon as you upload them but it can take up to a day or two for the common map layer on osm.org to display your changes. (and it appears to be Veterans Memorial Highway Southeast to me :))
Sometimes, a particular section or length of road may not cover the entire road (especially if it’s a long road!), so you may have to select each of the lines.

Hi, Will. I saw the changes push out too, and yes, I had to do the change in several places. The line segments between sharp curves in the road all seemed to mark the start of a new label.
