You dont need to define type json in your jquery ajax post request. use below code in your javascript

jQuery.ajax({
          url: 'main/getlocation',
          data: {latitude:latitude,longitude:longitude},
          type: "POST",
          success: function(data) {
            alert("Successful");
          },
          failure: function() {
            alert("Unsuccessful");
          }
        }); 

and now try

params[:latitude] and params[:longitude] in your controller.
