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.
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.
