Description

Geolocation fails on Android device with "Position retrieval timeout" message. I'm trying to use it like:

 
locationWatchId = window.navigator.geolocation.watchPosition(callback, onFail, {maximumAge: 10000, timeout: 10000, enableHighAccuracy: true});

 
I've tried to double maximumAge and timeout and no change. The very same works with I build the project with PhoneGap 2.8.1. Here are the steps I'm doing with Cordova 3.0.1:

 
cordova create hello com.example.hello HelloWorld
cd hello/
cordova platform add android
cordova plugin add https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf/cordova-plugin-geolocation.git
... adding more plugin...
cordova build
cordova run android

 

The same works on iPad. I started thread [1] about it and one other user has the same problem with Cordova 3.0.4
