I am somewhat old-fashioned in that I use the route with a map on my computer to understand it and to see what it looks like.  I use a combination of OS, OSM, Geograph and street-view.  Then I will...

Many phones can geotag the photos you take, so that could be used to allow accurate placement on a map without much work from the submitter.
