title: Change route parameters without updating view
body: <p>I'm currently trying to figure out how to change the route parameters without reloading the entire page.  For example, if I start at</p>
  
  <p><a href="http://www.example.com/#/page">http://www.example.com/#/page</a></p>
  
  <p>but update a name to be 'George', to change the route to be:</p>
  
  <p><a href="http://www.example.com/#/page/george">http://www.example.com/#/page/george</a></p>
  
  <p>If I already had <a href="http://www.example.com/#/page/:name">http://www.example.com/#/page/:name</a> routed.</p>
  
  <p>Without reloading the location.  Can one just set $routeParams.name = "George" ?</p>
  
  <p><b>Edit:</b>
  Alternatively, is there a way to update <a href="http://www.example.com/#/page?name=George">http://www.example.com/#/page?name=George</a> without reloading or resetting the page?</p>
