Hi Markus,
Zoomify is capable of tiling huge image. Also it is possible to add
hot spot ; have a look at this 20 000 x 10 000px flat satellite image
with hot spots :

180 HS (or more) would represent a long work I guess. But I think it's
feasible. I have been playing a bit with big linear panos into
zoomify viewer but never gave a try hot spot ; and I'm far to be a
Flash guru.
