Do some modification to the controls.cfg file and you can. One of the entries for each command is context; if you add 2 to the context entry you can do the command when the game is paused. Making the nav map context "1,2" will let you use the nav map while paused, so you can draw lines and circles, measure ranges, and so forth.
As for me, assuming I have the time, I prefer to plot the exact ship position, plot it again 3 minutes and 15 seconds later, then measure the distance between the two points. The distance in hundreds of meters is the speed in knots.
