Does the GPS have software on the PC?
Do they both have bluetooth?
Would it be possible for the GPS to have connected to the PC upon booting?
The same could be said for a phone linked to the GPS. If the phone was used to plot the course, it could be linked to the GPS for data-logging purposes.
Failing that......Time to line your favourite hat with foil.

all GPS is a clock, they just transmit. and GPS receiver just receives the signal of that clock of the GPS and triangulates your position from the time differences hence why you need about 4 simultaneous connections to GPS satellites to get a position of where you are.
So the answer is no, because google cannot read a receiver such a GPS device unless you have a GPS device that transmits and receives which if it did would probably be on of the first in the world.

Even if you had it plugged into USB google would have to have some software in place to inject data to the Tom Tom search function.edit on 6-5-2012 by definity because: (no reason given)

Respected Sir... I think the last time u used ur tom tom was, coincidentally, to go to that zoo.... And when u switched on after a year.. the last tracking data was still there...! Walla.... case solved...
TomTom’s retain their last know locations imputed, which in this case should have been HOME because we just came back from a 600mile trip and that is what I used to get back home. (Our home address)

It wasn't the Internet connection, but the Bluetooth.
I don't know which model Tom Tom you have, but some of them connect to phones via Bluetooth(Hands free in the car). It doesn't really matter as you would know/mentioned that you looked up the zoo on your phone.
Just out of interest.....you didn't switch the GPS on at the Zoo did you?

I don't have a Iphone and yes, my cell does have Bluetooth but, the TomTom was shut off 50' from my PC and in a drawer unpluged

Do you take sleeping med's or have a history of sleep walking?
There isn't much else it could be unless you have a friend that likes to screw with you?
To add.
See if there is a log file on the GPS......at least you might be able to nut out when the destination was set.edit on 7/5/2012 by OccamAssassin because: (no reason given)
