Geolocation

The geolocation plugin provides information about the device's current location that can be retrieved via Global Positioning System (GPS), network signals, and GSM/CDMA cell IDs. Note that there is no guarantee that the API returns the device's actual location.

In order to use the geolocation plugin in our Apache Cordova project, we need to use the following cordova plugin add command:

> cordova plugin add https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf/cordova-plugin-geolocation.git
