Cetus GPS (http://www.cetusgps.dk/ - for Palm) is a good implementation of this (see web page above for screenshots). Also keeps a track history every few seconds and has some other options like averaging to get a reasonably accurate reading vs a rough and ready. Speed is dead accurate (or my car speedo is!), but altitude is a bit sus (reasons given in other, unrelated posts - one our main sporting grounds, ~25mkm from the coast is 8M underwater ... :) Would love to have the ability to use a local offset to the curve to counteract this.
Use it on my treo650 with an external bluetooth gps for backup while bushwalking.
