On iOS geo: url scheme doesn't open Google maps, it can open Google Earth

Google maps app allows this three url schemes, comgooglemaps://, comgooglemaps-x-callback:// and comgooglemapsurl://

More information about google maps url schemes

You can also use the http url, that will open the app if it's installed or a website if it isn't

More information about http urls

Also, for making window.open work you'll have to install cordova-plugin-inappbrowser first. Otherwise, you'll have to use a links.

Also for Apple map you can use 

window.open('maps://?q=' + addressLongLat, '_system');

Using a geo appended link will prompt the user to open the location in the maps application of their choice (assuming the user has more than one maps application on their device). 

<a href="geo:-32.845027,23.006867">OPEN</a>

Try window.open('maps://?q=' + addressLongLat, '_system'); for iOS.
