Is there a guide somewhere on how top do that?

@neosheo

Log in with your OpenStreetMap account in the settings.
Long tap the place you want to add on the map.
Pull up the pop-up that appears from below.
Tap the second option (that prompts you to add a place or a company).
Fill in as many details as you can get.
Save.

It will first be available only for you, then at the next update it will be available for everyone (as it updates the maps themselves form OSM).

I'd advise you to jump right in. Create an account on osm.org and then click the "edit" button. There's quick demo that runs you through the basics and any time you're making changes you can tag them with "needs review" so that others can check your changes.

The documentation is pretty great and I've found it really easy to update/add new info around my area as-needed, which helps not just yourself but everyone else around you.

The data eventually makes it to https://www.qwant.com/maps, because they also use open street map data, which is a really nice UI to use on the desktop.
