Hey ben, it depends.. You can handle this in a number of ways, but 
basically all boiles to this:

1. If the url was valid (using ng-router, ui-router, or whatever ) and the 
data comes from the server - check for the error response. if it was 404 
then redirect to the 404 url with  the related view, etc.

for example in UI router I would listen to a $StateChangeError event, and 
grap the error args. something like this (psuedo code.. not syntax checked):
<pre>
  $rootScope.$on('$stateChangeError',
     function(event, toState, toParams, fromState, fromParams, error){
       if (error.status === 404) {
        $location.path('/404/')
      }
... }) 
</pre>
2. If the url wan't valid (not an existing url in your config) just 
redirect to the 404 view. both ng-router and ui-router have a "othewise" 
option allowing you do to catch all url's that do not have an explicit 
definition in the config.
