I don't have the equipment to record a streets information and update the map …

… but I have found a few unnamed streets and one that is omitted altogether. How do I go about drawing attention of those to other OSM users in the same city?

A question (with answers) focusing on "mapping errors" (not necessarily on missing data as it is in the question here) is at i-dont-want-to-fix-an-mapping-error-but-i-do-want-to-report-one.

Citation of two old answers to this question (moved from there – where the question also moved from):

OSM has QA tools that shows mappers questionable data, including unnamed roads. For example, OSM Inspector's Highways layer or Simon Poole's No Name map. For a full list of QA tools, see
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Quality_Assurance

But your feedback is highly welcome :) You can use the 'notes' tool at http://www.osm.org to drop a short note about a missing/wrong feature directly at the map. Just click the last button on the sidebar at the right side of that page. Then drag the marker to an appropriate position and write short text that helps mappers (even non local ones) to verify and solve the problem. Please be patient, as not everybody monitors it's area regularly for such notes ;)
