Getting out in nature is an experience that most people enjoy. In recent years, people have discovered nature in great numbers, including individuals who love to hike, look for wildlife, view the stars and to ride bicycles. You might think it is contradictory, but technology plays a role in increasing the enjoyment of nature, as well as providing increased safety measures. For example, if you want to go for a hike, your smartphone can provide information on the best hiking locations in your area and even direct you to the most logical parking place. The following outdoor activities can be enhanced through technology.

Birding

No matter where you go in the outdoors there are likely to be some interesting birds in the area. You could see everything from hawks, songbirds, waterfowl and more. These birds, especially if you are new to birding might be confusing, which is why the use of DevOps orchestration is a concept that app developers might use in their systems.  A variety of apps help birders identify the trickiest birds and have navigation systems that allow you to identify a bird by putting in the information you know about:

• Location

• Time of year

• The size of the bird

• The color of the bird

If the information is accurate, you might be able to discover that the small brown bird you are seeing is a song sparrow and not a tree sparrow. Overall, this will increase the enjoyment of the outdoors for many people.

Hiking

This is an activity that can be enjoyed without a lot of extra equipment, especially if you are just going out on local trails for a few hours. The equipment you need is pretty basic, with some good shoes and comfortable clothing. If you do tackle some challenging terrain or some longer trails, it is a good idea to have some information on your route. GPS handheld devices allow you to keep track of where you are going and where you have been. This makes it super easy to find your way back to your vehicle after a long day of hiking.

The process is simple and just takes a little while to learn. You can practice on a simple hike and then build up to longer hikes. When you get out of your car, just select a waypoint and this will record the location of your vehicle. After you have hiked for an hour or two, you then select your car's waypoint, look it up on the computer, and follow the directions back to your car. This can keep you from getting lost or from coming back late for dinner.

Biking

One of the most useful and enjoyable devices to use for biking is a small computer that attaches to your bike handlebars. A good bike computer has a long list of functions. For starters, it can tell you how many miles you have ridden each day, and it will also provide a cumulative distance for multiple days. It will also allow you to see how fast you are going. More advanced computers will allow you to record a route and make sure you stay on a specific course.

In addition, a bike computer system will tell you the current temperature. This could come in handy if it is very warm out, indicating that you need to drink more fluids. The computer will also have a clock on it, and you can set the clock for different functions such as recording intervals to help with training.

Enjoying the outdoors might help you relax and it could play a role in keeping you in shape. New technologies can add enjoyment to your activities in many ways. No matter what you love to do out in nature, there is an app or a computer system that could make the experience better and safer. Next time you head outdoors, don't forget the latest technology to enhance your outdoor experience.
