I don't know if open street data let's you monetize like this, but consider adding a link to Shutterfly or some similar site that would let the user get their road network of choice be printed out on a mug or t shirt.
A site featured on hn a few weeks ago which showed height renderings of various locales let you do something like that.

- anvaka 7y agoOh! This one is fun :)!
- jschwartzi 7y agoBonus points if you let me add UTM or Lat+Long coordinates to have marks appear for the peaks I've bagged on the peak map. Then I can buy a mug or print a poster that lists all the peaks I've bagged or intend to bag.
- windthrown 7y agoThis is already incorporated into the site. After the roads render, click "Customize", then "Onto a mug" and a link to zazzle.com will open to order a mug.
- tnorthcutt 7y agoThat one is also from anvaka :)
- oh_sigh 7y agoFunny. I wonder if the similar visual styles led me to connect the two despite not even remembering what exactly the terrain height mapping one was. Now I feel kind of silly suggesting to this person a great idea that was actually...their own.
