if you want to make a map application, you should not use one image but tiles and display just the image tiles, which are visible. That's the way, how every known map apps (including google maps) work.
for making tiles, scaling and other image manipulations you can use ImageMagick - http://www.imagemagick.org/script/binary-releases.php (you can call if from Rebol if you like:-) oldes A> I'm looking to scale and translate a jpg of a map at 950x800 resolution.
