Use an Android phone with Wi-Fi turned on while you hold it up to the cabin window, you will get accuracy down to 15 meters. Of course airlines frown at phones not in airplane mode, so don't be surprised if a flight marshall cold c*cks you and you end up on the no fly list. * +

But an airliners Wi-Fi will include location data provided by its own navigational system. That's why I said use an Android with Wi-Fi and GPS on. * +
