@SikanderHayat007

answers i posted are correct ones not attempted ones.
for paper I , i use google for answers,they are just out of blue.
but human geography mcqs were done by notes i prepared during my prep.
i studied cultural and economic geography part very well
i posted in a thread human geography by name of human geography where i posted how i see human geo syllabus and i strictly followed it.
[url]http://www.cssforum.com.pk/css-optional-subjects/group-d/geography/28639-human-geography.html[/url]
i was criticised for misguiding or terrifying aspirants so i stopped it.it prove to be nightmare for many candidates.
only problem with this paper in exams with me was i could not revise anything at all,got only 6 hours. so i suffered.human geography paper 2 was easy one though.
hope you get what you want.
for anything else in geography part,i am here

Worldwide geocaching is carried out by:

GPS

Source: The general population typically uses lightweight, handheld receivers or receivers that have been integrated into automobiles or boats. The general population uses GPS in many different ways. Surveyors use GPS to save time over standard survey methods. GPS is used in aircraft and ships for en route navigation and for airport or harbor approaches. GPS tracking systems are used to route and monitor delivery vans and emergency vehicles. In a method called precision farming, GPS is used to monitor and control the application of agricultural fertilizer and pesticides. GPS is available as an in-car navigation aid and as such, is used by vacationers and businesspeople who make frequent calls on clients or customers. Handheld GPS receivers are often used by hikers and hunters. Rescue crews use GPS to locate persons in emergency situations. A pastime known as caching or geocaching uses GPS to locate objects deliberately concealed in certain locations in an adult version of a child’s treasure hunt. GPS is also used on the space shuttle
