[Q] Question about app dev with Phonegap and using native functionality topic

I'm interested in building/having built a real estate app for IOS and Android and want to utilize the native Compass and GPS functionality but develop a hybrid app using Phonegap and, perhaps, AppGyver's Steroids development tool. Is this feasible? Are there any concerns or limitations that I should be aware of? I've been told that building in HTML5 is the more cost effective way to go but want to make sure that the functionality that I require (use of GPS and compass features) can be realized without having to develop native-specific versions. Would love to hear back with any info and advice.
