What kind of maps are you using? Can you not use Google Maps?

hi acoder ,
those maps are related to properties like maps for the plots available in different areas you can have a look at the maps here just click on any of the maps to open the detail window

So, they're basically images and you have a tool to view the larger zoomed in version onmouseover. What you can do is add +/- buttons/links to increase the width/height of the image.

Zooming should be easy (just change the width or height). For dragging, use onmousedown and onmousemove to deal with the mouse clicks and movements and set the position of the image.

hm its good one but acoder it uses the images in pieces where as i have a single image what does this mean that do i have to break all the images into pieces to make it work means each map / image as seen on the site should be uploaded in pieces using (Python Imaging Library) from the back end

You could split it up yourself using an image manipulation application, or adapt the code for your requirements.
