Add track as layer while the editing

1

Is there any option to upload a track file in the edit mode so I could see the route I was driving and edit the map in accordance.

Yes, but the way to do it is different in each OSM editor. Are you using the default "edit" button on the website?

Yes you can, just drag and drop the file on the editor window.

You can also see the files that people have uploaded to OSM using the method than Andy Mackey suggests.

alt text Upload the trace first. and If using the iD editor click on 1 then 2 and you will see all the available GPX traces.

With iD click on 1 then 2 choose to your gpx and it will display. but someoneesle's method is a little easier. maybe.
