A couple more findings with the kindle app.
In the html file he references a variable called value1 when he means value and this causes a bug in the two-line display mode where it shows depth in the heading field. Easy fix.
My Kindle Paperwhite's Experimental Browser times out after 10 minutes and opens a screen saver. That's no good. Ends up there is a fix: simply type ~ds in the Kindle's search bar.

I haven't figured out how to fix it so that it will work without a depth sounder, short of emulating depth in signal k simulator. The code isn't long, but the coder is smarter than I am. In my boat I only have depth when my "legacy" Garmin plotter is on - depth is all I need it for so it is often not on.
I'd ultimately like to make a single Kindle screen that shows only Heading, SOG, and GPS Time on a simple headless Openplotter with IMU and GPS for a race boat I crew on, and hang it under the boom.
