The median is 43 × 58.5 mm, and 25% are two-layer designs.

What is the most popular open source board using the SIM808?

By GitHub stars, GPS-Tracker by mohamedboubaker, with 40 stars.

Can I simulate one of these boards using the SIM808 before building it?

Yes. HardLabs turns a board's netlist and BOM into a working simulation, so you can boot and test firmware against it with no hardware on your desk.
