PhoneGap/Cordova Get Number of GPS Satellites

I need to check how many GPS satellites which is connecting with device. I know how to do that on Android native app (how to get satellite name or number when we are getting location through GPS in Android?).

But, I need how to do that in phonegap/cordova hybrid application.

Thanks.

Since ios does not provide the number of satellites, and since phone gap is designed as a subset of functionality that runs on all phoneplattform, the num satellites is not available.
Further today the number of satellites is of little use, today phones use at least a combination of the US GPS and the Russion GLONASS. Thus always having many satellites in view, even in urban canyons.

You cannot use the num of satellites as a quality indicator. Use horicontal acuracy estimate for that purpose. Both android and ios provide that (check if phone gap provides, this, too)

There is not anything developed to achieve that. If you want, you should make a plugin based in that android functions.
