You can also do it by using $urlRouterProvider.otherwise to handle the cases where the router is unable to match the path.

In the following example, the router is unable to match /mypath and therefore calls $urlRouterProvider.otherwise to find out what to do. Here we can see the path that was requested and map it to the proper path, i.e. /mypath/

app.config(function($urlRouterProvider) {
    $urlRouterProvider.otherwise(function ($injector, $location) {
        if ($location.$$path == '/mypath')
            return "/mypath/";
        else
            return "/defaultpath";
    });
