Geolocation seems to cache location

Hello, im using the cordova-plugin-geolocation 1.0.1 for geolocation

when i hit the button that starts the location it works perfectly gets the location and program goes on.

how ever what i want is that i can press the button again and it should find the new location.
I testet the app the other day while driving hitting the button randomly but the locations i get in my log are all from the first time i press and i dont understand why

Assumeing the options maximumAge and timeout is in miliseconds, where maximumAge is for when its last allowed to be used, and timeout is a timeout for trying to get positio

function postLocation() {
        $scope.address = "";
        //onSuccess Callback
        //This method accepts a Position object, which contains the
        //current GPS coordinates;
        var onSuccess = function (position) {
            alert('Latitude: ' + position.coords.latitude + '\n' +
                  'Longitude: ' + position.coords.longitude + '\n' +
                  'Altitude: ' + position.coords.altitude + '\n' +
                  'Accuracy: ' + position.coords.accuracy + '\n' +
                  'Altitude Accuracy: ' + position.coords.altitudeAccuracy + '\n' +
                  'Heading: ' + position.coords.heading + '\n' +
                  'Speed: ' + position.coords.speed + '\n' +
                  'Timestamp: ' + position.timestamp + '\n');
            var url = "https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/json?latlng=" + position.coords.latitude + "," + position.coords.longitude;
            var xmlhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
            xmlhttp.onreadystatechange = function () {
                if (xmlhttp.readyState == 4 && xmlhttp.status == 200) {
                    jsonArr = JSON.parse(xmlhttp.responseText);
                    $scope.address = jsonArr["results"][0]["formatted_address"];
                    Texting.sendSms([jsonArr["results"][0]["formatted_address"], position.coords.latitude + "," + position.coords.longitude]);
                }
            }
            xmlhttp.open("GET", url, true);
            xmlhttp.send();
        }
        var options = { maximumAge: 3000, timeout: 15000, enableHighAccuracy: true };
        //onError Callback receives a PositionError object
        function onError(error) {
            alert('kode: ' + error.code + '\n' +
                  'Besked: ' + error.message + '\n');
        }
        navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(onSuccess, onError, options);
    }

I hope theres some of you who can tell me why this is
