We consider integral point sets in affine planes over finite fields. Here an integral point set is a set of points in $\mathbb{F}_q^2$ where the formally defined Euclidean distance of every pair of points is an element of $\mathbb{F}_q$. From another point of view we consider point sets over $\mathbb{F}_q^2$ with few and prescribed directions. So this is related to R\'edei's work. Another motivation comes from the field of ordinary integral point sets in Euclidean spaces $\mathbb{E}^m$. In this article we study the spectrum of integral point sets over $\mathbb{F}_q$ which are maximal with respect to inclusion. We give some theoretical results, constructions, conjectures, and some numerical data.
