Not at all. When the GPS is connected the circuit is closed/complete. Once the unit is disconnected the circuit is open and electricity doesnt make a full pass from negative to positive.

Why does a cell phone charger drain a battery?
As long as the charger is connected to its power source it will take a small amount of power from that source (even if the phone is not connected to it), regardless of whether it is an AC "wall wart" charger or a cigarette lighter charger (although normally turning the car ignition off turns the cigarette lighter outlet off, so if it drains the car battery the car ignition switch may have a problem). If the phone is connected to the charger it may continue to take extra power even with the phone fully charged (I have a Tracfone that will drain my battery powerpack completely (if not connected to a charger its internal battery drains completely in less than 2 days even if I'm not using it at all -- this phone has something wrong in it). The real issue is now fast the charger is draining the battery. BTW, I am assuming above that you mean an external battery that the charger is connected to, not the internal battery of the cell phone itself (if this is the case I would say the phone is seriously defective as this would normally not be possible).
