Description

From the spec https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-geolocation/blob/master/doc/index.md

It says :
"This API is based on the W3C Geolocation API Specification, and only executes on devices that don't already provide an implementation. "

But this is not true now (tested on android tablet OS 4.4.2 ). It used to be true for Cordova 2.9.0 .

I found the difference is :
1. Cordova 2.9.0 , it uses "defaults" to map module
https://github.com/apache/cordova-js/blob/2.9.x/lib/common/plugin/geolocation/symbols.js#L24

2. Cordova latest version, it uses "clobbers" to map module .
https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-geolocation/blob/master/plugin.xml#L60

I see the Cordova geolocation implementation is removed on android platform, shouldn't do on amazon-fireos as well ?
