absolutely it can be done registered your app with google maps go to below link
https://console.developers.google.com/
create project and enable these api

google maps geolocation api
google maps javascript api
google place api webservices

after that in index.html add google map api

<script src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key="Your_PROJECT_API_KEY"&libraries=places" async defer></script>

Add geolocation plugin for getting current location

var geocoder = new google.maps.Geocoder(); // use geocoder to convert user current location into adress

var options = {
            enableHighAccuracy: true
        };

navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(function(pos) {
        $scope.position = new google.maps.LatLng(pos.coords.latitude, pos.coords.longitude);
           // console.log(JSON.stringify($scope.position));

$scope.convert_location = JSON.stringify($scope.position);
$scope.main_location = JSON.parse($scope.convert_location); // here you w'll get user current location lattitude and longitutude


     geocoder.geocode({'latLng': $scope.position}, function (results, status) {
if(status == google.maps.GeocoderStatus.OK) {       
var add=results[1].formatted_address;   // address of user current location

// console.log(add);
}
});

//Used google place api

 var map;
$scope.places_names=[];
   var options = {
        enableHighAccuracy: false
    };
  var pyrmont =  $scope.main_location;
   map = new google.maps.Map(document.getElementById('map'), {
center: pyrmont,
zoom: 14,
mapTypeId: google.maps.MapTypeId.TERRAIN   
`  });`
      var service = new google.maps.places.PlacesService(map);
  service.nearbySearch({

location: pyrmont,
radius: 1000,
types: ['Health']
}, callback);

function callback(results, status) {
  if (status === google.maps.places.PlacesServiceStatus.OK) {
for (var i = 0; i < results.length; i++) {
  createMarker(results[i]);
}
  }

}
// marker
function createMarker(placesname) {
var placeLoc = placesname.geometry.location;
var image = 'icons/finder.png';
var marker = new google.maps.Marker({
map: map,
position: placesname.geometry.location,
icon:image
});
$scope.places_names.push(placesname.name);
console.log(placesname);
}
