Great road navigation tool. A couple of weeks ago I used it as the organizer of a conference in combination with Facebook:
– make an event in Facebook and invite participants
– Waze automatically syncs with Facebook and on the day of the event, asks if you want to navigate to the event
– when you accept, Waze shows where other participants that use Waze and Facebook are (on the way, arrived)

You might use it for a GPS-quest, but this is not a top 10 tool for education, I think.
