ID_CAP_MAP

Not needed in windows app if using google maps... true?

Only the permission     ID_CAP_LOCATION

needed true...?

That's correct. 

use comma or semicolon like android semicolon????

Both are fine.

Windows apps use Capabilities for example ID_CAP_CONTACTS for contacts, ID_CAP_LOCATION for location etc.  You can specify capabilities in the permissions field in Intel XDK. You can find list of Capabilities here : https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/jj206936(v=vs.105).aspx

ID_CAP_CONTACTS;ID_CAP_LOCATION;ID_CAP_MAP;ID_CAP_MEDIALIB_PHOTO;

really the:

ID_CAP_MAP

needed for Google Maps(also Show My Location button) not windows Maps????

Also what separator must be between Windows App permissions.. like Android...";"...?

You can use comma to separate the CAP entries. I'm not sure if I understand your other question. ID_CAP_MAP is used for accessing Windows Maps and you have to use Windows Map API to display the map. For using Google Maps use Geolocation plugin (part of Core Plugins under Plugins Management in the Projects tab of XDK) and Google Maps API. I hope this helps.

ID_CAP_MAP

Not needed in windows app if using google maps... true?

Only the permission     ID_CAP_LOCATION
