I am developing a blackberry application using html5 code.I need to find my current location and have to show that in Google map.I am running this in BB9780. It is running in simulator but it gives a wrong location(US location). But it is not running in device.

I suspect the below line is not executing.

navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(onSuccess, onError);

I am giving my code here.Please suggest me where I went wrong

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
 <head>
  <meta charset="UTF-8">
  <meta name="viewport" id="viewport" content="width=device-width,height=device-  height,initial-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no">
  <script src="json2.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
  <script src="cordova-1.7.0.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
  <script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">

  // Wait for Cordova to load

  document.addEventListener("deviceready", onDeviceReady, false);

 // Cordova is ready

 function onDeviceReady() {
    alert("onDeviceReady");
navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(onSuccess, onError);
 }


 // onSuccess Geolocation

 function onSuccess(position) {
alert("onSuccess");
    var element = document.getElementById('geolocation');
    element.innerHTML = 'Latitude: '           + position.coords.latitude              + '<br />' +
                        'Longitude: '          + position.coords.longitude             + '<br />' +
                        'Altitude: '           + position.coords.altitude              + '<br />' +
                        'Accuracy: '           + position.coords.accuracy              + '<br />' +
                        'Altitude Accuracy: '  + position.coords.altitudeAccuracy      + '<br />' +
                        'Heading: '            + position.coords.heading               + '<br />' +
                        'Speed: '              + position.coords.speed                 + '<br />' +
                        'Timestamp: '          + new Date(position.timestamp)          + '<br />';
}

// onError Callback receives a PositionError object

function onError(error) {
    alert('code: '    + error.code    + '\n' +
          'message: ' + error.message + '\n');
}
</script>

I dont think its the line you suspect, what is the error message your getting? Its probably the simulator as your code looks correct, though I'm only reading error.message and error.code. This my version of onDeviceReady

 function onDeviceReady() {
    try {
        if(typeof(navigator.geolocation)!='undefined') gl = navigator.geolocation;
        else gl=google.gears.factory.create('beta.geolocation');
    }catch(e){}

    if (gl) {
        gl.getCurrentPosition(onSuccess, onError);
        alert("Device Ready");
    } else {
        alert('not supported');
    }
 }

please try to add timeout:10000 to see the error log.. it is probably a timeout issue on your specific device try: gl.getCurrentPosition(onSuccess, onError,{timeout:10000}); instead

related issue i found on github: https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-geolocation/issues/119#issuecomment-463897045

and here: phonegap geolocation always fail on timeout
