    You could check if the GPS is activated. This plugin provides methods to know the hardware status of the device: https://www.npmjs.com/package/cordova.plugins.diagnostic

    According to the documentation: https://www.npmjs.com/package/cordova.plugins.diagnostic#islocationenabled

    you could use this method to show the map in the callback function successCallbackand show an error message indicating that it is necessary to activate the GPS sensor in order to display the map in the callback functionerrorCallback
