Local updates to reflect area

Right you are. Did that last night for two of the streets I've added, but now I have a problem. We have a couple of new streets in our area that aren't on the Yahoo satellite picture (as that was done back in 2006 or so), but as I don't seem to have GPS working yet, I can't add any plots. What would you advise? Sorry if this is a FAQ, but I haven't actually seen a list of those yet.
I can certainly take photos of street signs, and if I was insane, I could even take a whole series of photographs. My problem about photos is mis-registration (scale, x/y/z, field-of-view, the whole measurement thing) so I've been wary of that whole idea.
Cheers.

To make it slightly clearer, what was missing in OSM was the street names, not their positions (although I have had to move points for Baynes because Cossar Street doesn't go around the corner, it heads into Baynes Place). The positions were fine, except the one example I've provided. As for shop names, I've eyeballed those myself, so I know that if those are incorrect, then so is their signage.

The street positions have already been plotted in the OpenMap, however I needed to check their spelling against two other reputable sources. Also, I note that a roundabout on the corner of Travis Road and Burwood road has become a set of traffic lights. This work was done about three months ago, so won't have shown up on the most recent satellite imagery available.
I apologise for having to use other sources for verification, but what else do I use?

Thanks for your replies.
