For a similar visualization of the human genome, and to get a sense of how vast that landscape is, check out this genome browser I made a couple years ago:

http://chromozoom.org

At the lowest zoom level, one pixel is 280,000 bp (roughly the length of one or two genes, including noncoding segments). You can zoom all the way into the individual base pairs (a, c, t, and g).

There is a track below the chromosome cartoon (cartogram) that shows you the genes if you pull down on its label.
