In this tutorial, I’m going to explain how to Integrate Google Map with Phonegap / Apache Cordova based Projects.
Step by Step Guide:
1. Create Cordova Project:
cordova create GMapExample com.codesundar.gmapexample GMapExample
2. Change Working Directory
cd GMapExample
3. Add Platform
cordova platform add android
cordova platform add ios
4. Add Plugin https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-geolocation
cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-geolocation
5. Add Google Map JavaScript Library with your index.html
<script src="http://maps.google.com/maps/api/js" type="text/javascript"></script>
6. Get User’s location using Geolocation plugin
navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(onSuccess, onError, { timeout: 30000 });
function onSuccess(position) {
var lat=position.coords.latitude;
var lang=position.coords.longitude;
}
function onError(error) { alert('code: ' + error.code + '\n' + 'message: ' + error.message + '\n'); } Integrate Google Map with PhoneGap Full Code

var lang=position.coords.longitude;
//Google Maps
var myLatlng = new google.maps.LatLng(lat,lang);
var mapOptions = {zoom: 4,center: myLatlng}
var map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map-canvas'), mapOptions);
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({position: myLatlng,map: map});
}
function onError(error) {
alert('code: ' + error.code + '\n' +
'message: ' + error.message + '\n');
}
google.maps.event.addDomListener(window, 'load', onSuccess);
</script>

<div id="map-canvas"></div>

7) Build your project & Run it
cordova build android

Not Working ?
- Check your Internet connection
- Make sure, you’ve enabled “Location Option” under your Phone Settings
