Re: [Roadnav-devel] Map download links changed

[<p4d...@sn...>]

	Alright Dustin, I think I can make the change. However, I never  
looked at the previous files that were downloaded, and don't know what  
they looked like. Could you look at http://geonames.usgs.gov/docs/stategaz/ID_Features_20080815.zip 
  and tell me if it looks like what we'd expect ID_DECI.zip to look  
like? If so, then I'll continue. Thanks!
