RINEX files can be processed to produce very accurate positions (typically 150-250mm for L1 only receivers,  10mm for L1/L2 receivers).   The recommended online processor is CSRS-PPP from Natural Resources of Canada (NARCAN)... they seem to be the only service that supports L1 only data.

Even with L1/L2 survey gear, “a few centimeters” is a bit more than a 
few minutes of data. So far, 24 hour records with L1 gear have given
meter level precision.
