Get the direction using google map in Phonegap

I am working in phonegap application i want to display the google map and get the current location and set the marker in google map.

I found the solution from stackoverflow it working goods.

Easy to implement in phonegap and jquery mobile. Just copy and past your project index.html file.

It will come google map in your divce.

Below you can find a basic example of using the Google Maps directions service in a jQuery Mobile page

Step: 1

The below example uses the current position which is automatically located and a target destination address which is given from the user.
