It might be that the designer thought it looked nice, and it broke up a
bit of the board that had no copper tracks on...


We did some boards where the vias were no bigger than the tracks so a
track that apparently ended actually went through.
It doesn't look like that here though as the other vias are quite big.

I've seen delay lines on tracks - funny zigzag patterns - but these were
in logic analysers, and were designed to keep the tracks from all the
probes the same length.

Yes, I've seen similar things on PC motherboards, where it's important
to keep the tracks between the CPU/memory controller and the memory
slots the same length.

That isn't what the OP photo shows, though. I certainly agree with
those that think it's an antenna of some kind. Figuring out what "SIM1
and "SIM2" mean might be a clue.

If its a multilayer board, there might be unseen tracks or planes between
the top and bottom wiggly traces, connected to the other 3 contact points.

It's interesting, this implies they have been added gradually.

As the costal erosion tales its toll?
Perhaps it's a simple device used by the cartographer when the course
of the coastline isn't accurate.
