First of all, you need to test it as an application, and not in a web browser. Secondly, if you want to use geolocation, you can use it like this:
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8" src="phonegap.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"> // Wait for PhoneGap to load // document.addEventListener("deviceready", onDeviceReady, false); // PhoneGap is ready // function onDeviceReady() { navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(onSuccess, onError); } // onSuccess Geolocation // function onSuccess(position) { var element = document.getElementById('geolocation'); element.innerHTML = 'Latitude: ' + position.coords.latitude + '<br />' + 'Longitude: ' + position.coords.longitude + '<br />' + 'Altitude: ' + position.coords.altitude + '<br />' + 'Accuracy: ' + position.coords.accuracy + '<br />' + 'Altitude Accuracy: ' + position.coords.altitudeAccuracy + '<br />' + 'Heading: ' + position.coords.heading + '<br />' + 'Speed: ' + position.coords.speed + '<br />' + 'Timestamp: ' + new Date(position.timestamp) + '<br />'; } // onError Callback receives a PositionError object // function onError(error) { alert('code: ' + error.code + '\n' + 'message: ' + error.message + '\n'); } </script>
