Navidec Develops CDOT Kiosk to Aid Travelers Interactive Kiosks Offer Latest Weather and Road Conditions

    DENVER, Dec. 10 -- Navidec Inc. (Nasdaq: NVDC, NVDCW), a
leading provider of products and services that integrate commerce and
technology, announced today that it has developed and launched the first
interactive kiosk to aid motorists traveling on Colorado roadways.  The
Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) kiosk, activated this month at
the Cuerno Verde visitor center 20 miles south of Pueblo, supplies travelers
with current road and weather conditions and details in construction delays.
    "As evidenced by the October blizzard, winter's easiest target is the
traveler.  This kiosk is aimed at the many travelers who pass through the
Pueblo area.  Now motorists can check weather and road conditions on Monument
Hill or Raton Pass at the touch of a screen, all from the visitor's center,"
said Mike Franklin of Navidec.
    Navidec's WebTouch software enables the kiosk to be Web-based, which means
it presents current information from CDOT's Web site at
http://www.dotstate.co.us.com, rather than housing information that would
require independent updates.  For example, when the CDOT Web site is updated
with the latest weather and road news and conditions, the kiosk automatically
updates to reflect those changes.
    "We've been able to extend the reach and usefulness of the information
from the CDOT Web site to motorists who don't have Internet access, by using
WebTouch and a touch-screen kiosk."  Franklin added, "WebTouch gives the CDOT
kiosk a window to the Internet, allowing us to display CDOT Web site
information at a location where it's in high demand."
    Navidec Inc., with expertise in Web site development and electronic
commerce, enables its clients to profitably market and distribute their
products both online and through traditional distribution channels.  As part
of its comprehensive services, Navidec also provides high quality computers,
networks, peripherals and software in support of its customers' Internet and
intranet operations.  The company's Internet address is
http://www.navidec.com.
