Flightrackers (www.flytecomm.com etc.) don't give exact positions. Some have a graphic display but the airplane icon is about 100 miles wingspan in scale. Others will tell you how far from destination a flight is and some give height and IAS (TAS ?). Haven't seen any which give lat. and long. so as to pinpint the position. And there's a reporting delay anyway.
