OBD question (newbie here)

i've scaned through most of the forum and i don't think i saw answer i'm looking for. i realize that the OBD is used as a diagnostic, but is there a code or way to collect data for something that isn't a problem.<br><br>i'm interested in getting either the instantaneous velocity my truck or an odometer reading. i'll admit i'm just starting to research into this and thought maybe OBD, but is this even something that is available via OBD? or is there another method?<br><br>thanks in advance!

Some companies make electronics that can track speeds and stuff for company vehicles, etc. Can't recall a name right now.
