Absolute and relative... can be a word game. It depends what DATUM
(coordinate system) you want to have your answer in.

The below datasheet mentions 0.22deg/m baseline. You need decent antennas
and limited multipath to get there.

There are also some quotes on relative positioning performance.

The lat/lon resolution is fairly unimportant as long as it resolves
enough.  Neither the antenna nor the receivers used in cell phones are
good for better than a few meters in positioning accuracy.
