What kind of settings/method calls will get me geolocation accuracy close to Google Maps?

Question

I've developed a hybrid app that collects GPS points using a plugin (this one, to be precise). The thing is, when users are on a remote location, with little GPS/network coverage, we've had to resort to opening Google Maps in the background and then using the app in order to get a good coordinate. Otherwise, it doesn't work too well.

I would like to eliminate the need for doing that, but feel at a loss about what kind of practices do apps like Google Maps or Waze do to get better geolocations. Is there a code base that I could study, or some documentation?

Thanks in advance!

You may check here. It is GitHub from Google Devs and they show how they handle location. Also, you can find other examples there
