So I just found out that our uconnect can give latitude, longitude, and elevation from the GPS system. But I was wondering during if it could also show the vehicle speed aswell. I recently changed my tires from the Bridgestone stock tires to yokohama geolander tires. I kept the same size but I suspect when I drive 60mph i'm not actually doing 60mph. I'm just wondering if there's a way for the GPS to confirm if my speedometer is actually correct.

Download waze. It uses your phones GPS. I run it all the time

That worked out great. Thanks.
Just to note that if you are using Waze on iPhone via CarPlay, it is actually the other way around- the truck’s gps is being used, not the phone’s native gps. This is the same with the other map apps- whenever the phone is plugged in, and CarPlay is used, the truck gps takes over, and the phone’s gps is not used.

I never noticed Lat/Long in any of the base pages of UConnect 4, but I did notice Lat/Long and altitude displayed near the bottom of the Off-Road Pages after I added them using AlfaOBD.
