                    var myoption = {
                        maximumAge: 0,
                        timeout: 10000,
                        enableHighAccuracy: true
                    };
                    $scope.setGpsVisible(true);
                    navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(function (position) {

                        var pos = new google.maps.LatLng(position.coords.latitude, position.coords.longitude);
                        $scope.positions.push({
                            lat: pos.k,
                            lng: pos.D
                        });
                        console.log(pos);
                        $scope.map.setCenter(pos);
                        $scope.map.markers[0].setPosition(pos);
                        $scope.myCurrentPosLat = pos.k;
                        $scope.myCurrentPosLng = pos.D;
                        $ionicLoading.hide();
                    }, function (err) {
                          $ionicLoading.hide();
                      navigator.notification.alert(
    'error !!',  // message
    function(){},    
    'error msg',       
    'done'               
);
                    
                    }, myoption);

That’s because that method is only fired once. You either need something to detect when the GPS is turned ON/OFF and then call getCurrentPoisition , or use the watchPosition method.

@joseadrian i fire the getCurrentPosition from a button on my view, so its not only once, if i click this button and my GPS was on before starting the App it success , if i turend the GPS off and click this button i will get error and i will keep getting error even if i turn the GPS on again …

That’s weird. What’s the error message you get?

5

@joseadrian am keep getting Timeout Expired , my timeout option is 10000 … so ?

6

Have you tried setting the timeout to more than 10 seconds?

7

What device you are testing with?

8

@pcr am using galaxy note 4

9

@joseadrian yes i did , the same

10

Did you wrap the function in:

document.addEventListener(“deviceready”, function () {
$cordovaPlugin.someFunction().then(success, error);
}, false);

// OR with IONIC

$ionicPlatform.ready(function() {
$cordovaPlugin.someFunction().then(success, error);
});

11

The code above is for $cordova functions. you should also wait for device ready for you code.
Did you try $cordova??

12

@pcr also the same , i checked with another device, galaxy note 1 also the same

13

I have the same problem on Android devices, iOS everything right, any solution that you have found?

14

I have the exact same problem, when opening the app with the GPS on everything works, but if i turn off the GPS and on again I get Timeout error. same goes for opening the app if the gps is off, turning it on while inside the app dosent help.

Im using one plus one ad my developing device,
