Angular Js & google maps API ngGeolocation

I am having trouble getting a marker to display my geolocation on google maps api.

I am using the ng controller ngGeolocation & the http://angular-ui.github.io/angular-google-maps/

I had no troubles when I hardcoded the marker and map location. But as soon as I changed the controller the map disappeared.

Any help greatly appreciated

My controller

'use strict';

angular.module('fiveMinCatchupApp')
.controller('MainCtrl', function ($scope, uiGmapGoogleMapApi) {

var scope = $scope;
var lat; 
var lng

function getLocation() {
navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition($scope.showLocation);
};

$scope.showLocation = function(position){
  lat = position.coords.latitude;
  lng = position.coords.longitude;
  $scope.map = {
  center: {
    latitude: position.coords.latitude,
    longitude: position.coords.longitude,
  },
  zoom: 8
}

};

getLocation();

Main html 

<ui-gmap-google-map center="map.center" zoom="map.zoom">
<ui-gmap-markers 
models='markers'
coords="'coords'"> 
</ui-gmap-markers>
</ui-gmap-google-map>

HTML

<body ng-app="fiveMinCatchupApp">


<div class="container">
<div ng-view=""></div>
</div>

<div class="footer">
  <div class="container">
    <p><span class="glyphicon glyphicon-heart"></span> from the Yeoman team</p>
  </div>
</div>

This seems to do the trick for me:

angular.module('fiveMinCatchupApp').controller('MainCtrl', function ($scope, uiGmapGoogleMapApi) {

$scope.map = { center: { latitude: 45, longitude: -73 }, zoom: 8 };

  navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(function(pos) {
    $scope.map.center = {
     latitude: pos.coords.latitude,
     longitude: pos.coords.longitude
    };
    $scope.$apply();
  });
});
