I have to draw a graph with many nodes, and I thought that an user interface like what Google maps offers could be nice to navigate the graph. I'm currently using Java for my application (a web application): what technologies/libraries should I use to build an interface like google maps? What approach?
edit: I'm interested mainly in creating a draggable map with zooming capabilities
edit2: I'm not looking for the exact solution of the problem, but for some starting point

Default Controls This slider will be located at the corner of left hand side of the map. Pan − Just above the zoom slider, there will be a pan control for panning the map. Map Type − You can locate this control at the top right corner of the map. It provides map type options such as Satellite, Roadmap, and Terrain.
The Google Maps API provides a tool for easily visualizing map data. By using this tool, a graphical user interface (GUI) can be constructed that displays different types of data on a Google Map object.
If you have a massive data to display, one approach is to create an interactive interface that let the user to navigate in your data. Higher the zoom, greater the details.
An example of google maps like interface for other purpose is zoompy
