I thought a sure fire way to rack up points was to turn Waze on when flying in my plane.
~At 195mph and just 3000 feet my iPad was going nuts.
~I got no credit for the trip.
hmmm?
Airways are not yet implemented in Waze. Neither are VORs, NDBs or any other aeronautical stuff. There are other apps for that. (I recommend XCSoar combined with a FLARM, but XCSoar is not available for iOS.)

Good!
You’re shocked? Really?
What’s the point of using Waze on a plane? The fear of speed controls? :shock:
You’ll end up screwing with road speeds on the ground if it does “work” so just don’t do it. You’ll eff it up for everyone else. Just for “points?” Please don’t.

If it looks strange, or I used bad grammar or misspelled anything, it’s my phone’s fault.
troll?

I live near a small airport. I knew the landing patterns before I started using waze. So I immediately recognized the wild gps trails. It is happening.
Heck I’ve got a walker that I will need to make some custom trails thru yards for if he doesn’t stop wazing while walking. The funny part is I can tell exactly where he lives, so I’m tempted to go to his house and tell him to stop it.
I had a guy that paved the route from where he parked his car to his office (in one of our universities!) So I connected the road, made it a primary street and renamed it to ‘turn off your effin phone’. Eventually got an apology via a UR!
I think he posted about this just to get points!
What a nob! Waze could fix this by limiting GPS tracks to 100mph. Any more than that and the data is discarded.

It is allready limited, but I don’t know to what speed, but small planes don’t fly that fast… 
I just tried to waze from an airplane last night. It wors ed. However I thought it would screw up all the streets :shock: for everyone. So I turn the damn thing off right away. 4g allows signal to be reached at at least 4500 feet. Maybe there will be an airplane mode someday.
Probably if/when The Jetsons become reality.
Why even turn it on if you were worried about polluting data?
I thought driving off a bridge would kill me, so I tried it to make sure…

The other night I saw a Wazer located in the middle of a lake. I waited a while and they stayed there. Looks like there is Wazing and boating too.
Please implement a “not driving” mode.

Above is what I’ve done at local airports.
I think there does need to be a non driving mode, for promotional reasons. Here in Phoenix we have an ‘eye in the sky’ guy that flies around and does traffic reports all day for the radio. It would be nice to turn him on to waze, but to be able to keep it on in a non-driving mode.
Just turn off the gps
that would stop German autobahn users being interested on the app
It’s a bit better/worse (delete as required) again today
And it would not solve the problem. Smaller aircraft (e.g. ultralight aircraft) often have cruising speeds below 100mph / 160km/h / 90kt. These hobby pilots are probably most suspect to using Waze in flight. When you own an aircraft with a cruising speed of “195mph” (that’s darn fast for a single piston engine) you can also afford a full-featured aviation GPS, if it is not already included in the standard instrumentation (such as the Garmin G1000), and will probably not use Waze to find your way through the skies.
The original poster was just a troll and I’m not sure whether those people who use Waze in a plane / on a boat / train / bicycle / … will be sensitive enough to enable a “Non-Wazing Mode” on their devices. (Especially, when they simply forgot to turn Waze off when leaving their car.)
