Zooming an extremely large image

Is there any predefined control in WPF or VS2010 to implement the Image Zooming functionality (like Googlemaps) for a bitmap displayed over a panel using C#?
My bitmap will be minimum 8GB in Size.

Thanks in advance

There is DeepZoom for Silvelight. There is no such thing in WPF. It was planned for WPF4, but removed before RTM.

Update: Loading images of this size is pretty uncommon. You should consider tiling as others suggested. Also consider if you really need load all data at once. If the image has size of for example 30000x30000 then the user do not really need/can't to see all this data. Use tiling and appropriate image format (jpg etc) for each zoom level.
