Javascript for fetching location:

<script>
  window.onload = function() {
    document.addEventListener("deviceready", init, false);
    document.addEventListener("deviceready", onDeviceReady, false);
  }

  function init() {
    navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(positionSuccess, positionError);
  }

  function onDeviceReady(){

  }

  function positionSuccess(position) {
    var latitude = position.coords.latitude;
    var longitude = position.coords.longitude;
    document.getElementById('lat').value = latitude;
    document.getElementById('lon').value = longitude;
  }

  function positionError(error) {
    alert(error.message);
  }
</script>

Any advice or help would be appreciated.

In case if someone needs an answer, I found it here: https://github.com/driftyco/ng-cordova/issues/743

I just updated the plugin and the error disappeared:

cordova plugin rm org.apache.cordova.geolocation
cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-geolocation
