For my first time in OSM, I have done some edits in the area while going away from the city since the roads are non existent in OSM. References are GPS traces and aerial map views. Will be frequently travelling to country roads and recording GPS traces.

Thank you for your contributions to the map @drivingforce, and welcome to OpenStreetMap.
Apart from SatNav tracks (from GPS, Glonass, etc.), you might be interested in collecting street-level imagery using Mapillary or OpenStreetCam. The added advantage to this approach is that you’re not only collecting tracks, you’re also collecting photos that could be added to the commons which could be useful for extracting other information.
There are also various tools available that makes data contributions or editing on mobile more convenient. Check out the gamified StreetComplete, or the general purpose mapping apps with editing function like OsmAnd or Maps.Me.
If you’re keen to interact or have questions in mind, there are several channels for reaching out to local communities, check out the channels listed on osm.org/wiki/ph . We’d love to hear more from mappers outside the capital region.
Cheers, GOwin
