I'm not 100% sure what you mean. I always use PhoneGap the same way: I create a PhoneGap project using the method documented in http://docs.phonegap.com/en/2.6.0/guide_getting-started_android_index.md.html#Getting%20Started%20with%20Android and add my own code and run it. So Cordova is being included. Is there yet another "Geolocation" plug-in or something? I'm only familiar with one "use case" of PhoneGap, so I don't really understand the question.

> In a nutshell: the Geolocation API does not work on the Xoom tablet. The "success" callback never gets called after getCurrentPosition() or watchPosition().
> More details... Neither the:
> - navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(onSuccess, onError, { maximumAge: 2000, timeout: 5000, enableHighAccuracy: true }) nor
> - navigator.geolocation.watchPosition(onSuccess, onError, { maximumAge: 2000, timeout: 5000, enableHighAccuracy: true })
> methods result in the "onSuccess" callback being called.
> Without the optional options ("{ maximumAge: 2000, timeout: 5000, enableHighAccuracy: true }") included in the methods, the "onError" callback never (unless the default timeout is several minutes, if there is a default) gets called either. With the options included, it does, and the timeout error (error.message = "Timeout expired") is generated. Only the onError callback gets called, never the onSuccess callback, when running on the Xoom.
> Tested on other devices (Droid3 and iPhone) and these methods work (though watchPosition is slow on Droid3, another bug). Manifest and inspection of permissions look correct. Xoom is able to show its location using other apps like Google Maps.
