Default Digital Reconstruction of the state of Iowa

Blu-ray discs can hold up to 50 GB of space. Can I digitally reconstruct the roads (streets and highways) and every landmark and city
in the state of Iowa? (How far could I get with 50 GB)

Thanks.

Why not just use Google Maps?

Or provide some details. What do you mean by "digitally reconstruct"? What software are you using for this?

Default modeling a real mall

digitally reconstruction means making a model (For example:a real mall in Des Moines,Iowa and making it in a computer generated image and to make it very realistic and exactly like the real thing.) you can walk through the mall through your computer as if you are really there and maybe add a few people.

If they can make a complex FPS game in just 96KB, then anything is possible.

Then your limitation is your software, level of detail, textures, etc. Are you a 3D artist? What are you planning to use to design the 3D model and then render it?
