gqview image visualization widget in other applications

I'm coding a map viewer in gtk.
Right now it's pretty lame as it only allows to move very slow in the
map.
I'd like the gqview image visualization widget to be usable in my application.
I'd like it to be tile based with a cache (memory and disk).
This way I could pan the image and when there's a need to display a tile
it queries the database.

Just being able to use the gqview image visualization widget instead of:
http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/gtk/GtkImage.html
with
http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/gdk-pixbuf/index.html
would be a good start.

Anyone knows a solution?
