It's very likely that we do. Given that I cannot track down a 1000+ links that now 404, will they eventually fall out by themselves, or do I have to tell Google that everything that's 404'ed should be dropped from crawl index? Thanks!

What if I simply pushed the new sitemap over the old one? In other words, scoutzie.com/sitemap is the same link, except now it contains the new map. That should be okay, right?

Why might Google be crawling via old sitemap, when the new one has been submitted and verified?
We have recently relaunched Scoutzie.com and re-submitted our new sitemap to Google. When I look on Webmaster tools, our new sitemap has been submitted just fine, but at the same time, Google is finding a lot of 404s when crawling the site. My understanding, it is still using crawling the old links, which do not exists. How can I tell Google to refresh it's index and to stop looking at all the old links?
