You should stick to the cordova api's. The intel.xdk api are older and not as maintained as the cordova api's.

I tried to change intel.xdk.geolocation.getCurrentPosition to navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition and Intel XDK Emulator GeoLocation not work more:

PositionError {message: "Timeout expired", code: 3, PERMISSION_DENIED: 1, POSITION_UNAVAILABLE: 2, TIMEOUT: 3}

The Emulate tab and the geo API is kind of tricky if you set it to use an Android device. It is easier to play with if you tell the Emulate tab to use an iOS device. It has to do with the way the Emulate tab interprets the geo JS files for Android. It will work better on a real device.
