I am working something with maps and not able to get the current location in worklight 6.0 any links or API which i can use to get current lat, long values.

Also i have seen this link for tracking the current location of device from IBM infocenter,

Without your implementation and explanation of what you've tried to do, we cannot help you. This is a technical Q&A website...

Depending on what you're doing, you could:

• Use the Cordova Geolocation API

Or use the location services Worklight offers:

• Search for "location" in: http://pic.dhe.ibm.com/infocenter/wrklight/v6r0m0/index.jsp
• Read the training material: http://public.dhe.ibm.com/software/mobile-solutions/worklight/docs/v600/09_07_Location_services.pdf

Please read what the two approaches offer and choose what's best for you.
