F1 2012 Google Calendar...

EniGmA1981 · 12 Feb 2012 at 08:30

I'm not sure where to post this but as my intention is for people to be able to use this on their phones, I decided to drop it in here

Add this email address as a 'friend's calendar' on google calendars and then sync it with your phone and you can have everything to do with the F1 2012 season right there in your pocket

car release dates, test sessions and race weekend dates all there at a glance

[email protected]

For those who don't know how:

1. Go to https://www.google.com/calendar/
2. Click "other calendars" on the left
3. Add the above email address into the "Add friend's calendar" box
4. On your Android phone, go to Settings -> accounts and sync -> your googlemail account -> tap sync calendar to make it sync now
5. Open the Calendar and press Menu -> more -> calendars and make sure F1 Fanatic Formula 1 calendar is in the list and that it says "synced, visible" underneath
6(optional). refresh any calendar widget you may be using to ensure it is showing the new calendar information.
7. ?????
8. Profit (maybe...)

For those interested, the calendar widget is Pure Grid Calendar with the built-in ICS theme

I'm using the F1 fanatic Google calendar.

Few different options of adding it, less faff imo.

Thanks, don't use Google any more but enjoyed the faff getting it into Windows live.
I can now delete my Google calenders from my phone as I have exported them all

Thanks for this, family google calendar is the only way I know what's going on in my life any more and now I can even include the good stuff on it.

That's the same calendar I've linked to... and the email address I gave in my OP is in the comments section of that very page

It's not faff, as far as I'm aware, that's the only way to instantly add everything on that calendar to your google calendar so you can sync it with your phone/tab as well as your pc...
