Re: [Roadnav-devel] Map download links changed

	Alright Dustin, I appreciate your help. My changes to the code are  
functional, however, since I'd never seen this code before, I simply  
hardcoded in the "_Features_20080815" bit to make sure I changed the  
right things. Now... as I expect this 20080815 bit is the date it was  
modified (or something similar) I don't think that should be hard  
coded, do you? For instance, for Idaho, I think ideally the code would  
grab ID_Features_* or even ID_* (hoping that they modify the file  
instead of just creating new ones, of course). However, I honestly  
don't know how to do that. I'd be able to do it if the file was stored  
locally, like walking through a directory and looking for a file name  
that matched, but since I'm sending a request to a server, I need to  
know my link is correct, and I obviously can't send wildcards in  
links. How can this be done?
