WazeTripper: reconstructing Tripper Pod navigation over BLE

WazeTripper connects Waze navigation to a Royal Enfield Tripper Pod by patching a Waze Android APK and sending commands over a reconstructed BLE interface. Its protocol notes cover the Pod's GATT transport, packet fields and confidence levels, while the build scripts download Waze and inject Java hooks for navigation events.
