Specifically for Android, you could use cordova-plugin-request-location-accuracy to switch on/increase accuracy of Location services from within your app (similar to how Google Maps does it).

This avoids needing to switch to the Location settings page and have the user manually change Location mode to enable GPS.

after struggling for a while i found a plugin that was able to help me with my problem.

http://devpost.com/software/cordova-dialog-gps

  function calldialog() {
  document.addEventListener("deviceready",function() {
  cordova.dialogGPS("Your GPS is Disabled, this app needs to be enable to      works.",//message
                "Use GPS, with wifi or 3G.",//description
                function(buttonIndex){//callback
                  switch(buttonIndex) {
                    case 0: break;//cancel
                    case 1: break;//neutro option
                    case 2: break;//user go to configuration
                  }},
                  "Please Turn on GPS",//title
                  ["Cancel","Later","Go"]);//buttons
 });
 }
