Geolocation for an Hybrid iOS app

Geolocation for an Hybrid iOS app

I am currently developing an hybrid iOS app under xCode with UIWebView.
I would appreciate your help on that issue which is giving me an headache!
Does anyone know whether it is possible to trigger the Corelocation
Framework of iOS from a jQuery event?
Basically, i'd like to do stuff like that:
$('button').click(function(){
*//get position using corelocation framework*
};
If not, can I solve this issue by adding an API like Google Maps?
Thanks a lot!
