Below the map display in TangoGPS is a line of text.  If it starts with 'D'
followed by digits then it has that many map tiles it's queued up to
download.  Following that, or first if it's not downloading, are speed,
heading, etc.  

Or tap over to the 'Trip' tab and check the status there.  'Satellites'
will be X/Y where X is the number it can see and Y (hopefully >4) is how
many it's using.
