So, this has nothing to do with routes, as in the title of the thread?

The Garmin Mapsource Overlays (custom maps) listed near the bottom on that site I made from the track files listed at the top.

 

Being you have a Magellan you'll need to convert those .gtm track files to Magellan .log files...as suggested on that site use GPS TrackMaker.

I can open the single routes on gps tracker ,but cannot open the custom maps at all.So I merged all the routes in one ,but gps tracker cannot get the product ID from my gps,acts like its not even connecting.

You can't use the custom maps...they're Garmin.

 

Try this instead:

plug your USB cable in...put your Magellan in File Transfer mode...selecting either Internal Memory or SD Card

when the pop-up window opens on your computer screen copy the file you converted to the Track Logs folder

When you set the unit to follow a track it will show the track and your position.
