I've used GPS Test from Chartcross. It's a free app available in the Google Play Store. It isn't good for showing your location on a map, but it shows your speed and altitude. It works fine in airplane mode and doesn't require a data connection.

On the phones that I've tried it on, it usually works only if you are in a window seat, and may need to be held up to the window, especially to get an initial fix.
