The download gets me
maroc-topo-20071221-gmapsupp.zip
that needs to be 'unzipped' to get the actual file .. what program you use to do that will determine what actions it does.
I use Peazip.
When first opened that displays the zipped directory Garmin - I then double click on that to go inside it .. and that displays the file gmapsupp.zip - some 29.2Mb .. I then select the file and click on extract button .. and then offers me where to extract it to.
I would suggest that your program should be configurable as to where the file goes .. currently the CD drive .. click on it and you should select some place where it goes .. like /downloads for instance.

You have not done much computing have you ? Zip files are common - they compress the data to make transfer less costly. Nothing to do with Garmin, Oalf ... just another computing tool.
