I have Waze on a WiFi enabled tablet. I have been able to use it when driving away from my house - and therefore losing the WiFi connection. So long as I go the way that Waze recommends, it works. However, if I choose not to use the suggested junction to the motorway - deviating from the Waze route - Waze then tries to find out where I am using the internet. That is a bit tough unless I drive back through my front room. Typically, I know the way to the local motorway network - it it the far end of the journey where I need navigation. Waze needs to be able to determine where I am on the route, even if I have deviated - whether that is by choice or by circumstances.
