map.addEventListener(plugin.google.maps.event.MAP_READY, function(){}) doesn't work in the success callback of http request

See original GitHub issue

Mine is an angular based cordova app where I initialize the map view and wait for it in a controller. It works fine, when I do this:

app.controller('eventDataCTRL', ['$scope', '$location', 'eventFactory', '$http', function($scope, $location, eventFactory, $http){
  $scope.eventFactory = eventFactory;
  var div = document.getElementById("map_canvas");
  // Initialize the map view
  map = plugin.google.maps.Map.getMap(div);
  // Wait until the map is ready status.
  map.addEventListener(plugin.google.maps.event.MAP_READY, onMapReady([42.3601, -71.0589]));
  $http({
    method: 'POST',
    url: "https://xyz.com/",
    headers: {
      'Content-Type': 'application/json'
    },
    data: JSON.stringify({uri:eventFactory.event_url[0]})
  }).then(function successCallback(response) {

    }, function errorCallback(response) {
  });

But what I want is send coordinates which I get from this endpoint, or more specifically for any location (lat, long) I want. so this doesn’t work:

app.controller('eventDataCTRL', ['$scope', '$location', 'eventFactory', '$http', function($scope, $location, eventFactory, $http){
  $scope.eventFactory = eventFactory;
  var div = document.getElementById("map_canvas");
  // Initialize the map view
  map = plugin.google.maps.Map.getMap(div);
  // Wait until the map is ready status.
 
  $http({
    method: 'POST',
    url: "https://xyz.com/",
    headers: {
      'Content-Type': 'application/json'
    },
    data: JSON.stringify({uri:eventFactory.event_url[0]})
  }).then(function successCallback(response) {
     map.addEventListener(plugin.google.maps.event.MAP_READY, onMapReady([42.3601, -71.0589]));
    }, function errorCallback(response) {
  });

For the sake of privacy I replaced the http request url with a random url. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
