   > Im trying to understand, so what does the above permission request box do?. and do we need to use some other cordova plugin to turn on the location service?
   
   @rashnk It simply asks the user if he/she will give the app the permission to access the location data. It does not ask him to _turn on_ the location services. Those are two different things - users can turn on/off the location services (in phone settings; or by tapping on location icon in quick settings on Android etc) and also give individual permissions to app to be able to utilize those service.
   
   If you need to prompt the user to turn the location services on, you'll need to use other plugins. You can start with this: https://github.com/dpa99c/cordova-diagnostic-plugin#isgpslocationenabled and this: https://github.com/dpa99c/cordova-plugin-request-location-accuracy 
   
   Or if you happened to find a solution in the meantime, please do post your solution - thanks!
