How are tiles 256x256 but also 25 megapixels each?

When someone suggests using a map viewer, it is because maps are almost universally broken into tiles which are loaded on demand when viewed. Not needing overlay features such as navigation and markers might be a concern if those are heavyweight features, but they aren't.

An alternative, related technology is "deep zoom", which I suspect you might need since you need 25MP tiles to be viewed at a size of 256x256 (though it's not clear if those tiles will ever be viewed/zoomed to full resolution).
