Crj-200 captain experienced a GPS failure climbing to 8;000 feet and neither crew member could remember how to bring up a VOR frequency in flight deck pro. During the level off 250 knots was exceeded.

Narrative:
After a GPS failure and while trying to find VOR frequencies on flight deck pro and proceeding to our flight planned route using VHF navigation the aircraft leveled off at 8;000 feet the aircraft accelerated beyond 250 KIAS while below 10;000 feet. Upon seeing the speed above the speed limit I reduced thrust and returned to 250 KIAS and proceeded with the flight. This was the first time both the first officer and I had to find VOR frequencies using flight deck pro while in flight. We both did not remember you had to touch the NAVAID to pull up the frequency. At a time when we found ourselves behind the aircraft because of a system failure during a high workload period; needing to figure out how to find a frequency put us further behind the aircraft and was a contributing factor in the excessive speed. Continued training on jeppesen flight deck to remind us how to intuitively find information within the application we don't routinely use might be helpful.
