Google Maps JS API Windows Phone Cordova

Question

So i am trying to make this app that uses Google maps API. It worked with android but when i tried it on Windows Phone Emulator it says "an app can't load remote web content in the local context". Now, i searched a bit and this is to be expected (I also tried the solution that uses an iframe - didn't work.). The question is how do i fix this.Is it possible to use Google Maps with Windows Phone and Cordova and or i have to use a different Maps API?

Code that works with android but not with WP: -- Thank you All.

Make sure you have the right capabilities in your Manifest file. I don't do windows phpne 8 but most of the time your app needs premission from the user to have access to the internet.

Properties/WPAppManifest.xml

<Capabilities>
    <Capability Name="ID_CAP_NETWORKING" />
</Capabilities>
