Change the preferences , not only will it tell him how fast he's going you can also have an overspeed warning if you want, or your speed vs the speed limit. You can jiggle what you want displayed down the bottom, remove and add etc etc.

I have a compass pointing to my direction, speed , overspeed, distance to go, time to go etc etc

Hi. I have the basic Tom Tom One V3 and it does all that as mentioned below, it came set up like that , but with the smaller screen I have removed a couple of them to make the display easier to read and just have Speed, Distance to next turn, and speed limits etc . Really good for redlight camera's etc
Cheers Des.
