Google/iCal calendar syncing?

Hi people!

I have a question which I was going to post on an Apple forum when I realized there were tons of qualified, probably friendlier, people I could ask instead

So, I have an iPhone, on which I have programmed many events like birthdays (before I realized that contacts' birthdays are automatically programmed), future events, etc.

I also have Gmail and Google calendars for both my work and personal life. I have to have a calendar for work events and I use my personal Google Calendar when I'm at work because it's easier than programming it into my phone.

Now the question: how do I get all of these things onto my phone AND accessible on my work calendar? I have been goofing around with it but it seems very clunky.

If anyone has any insight I would appreciate it!

Settings-> Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> add your Gmail account there and tell your device to sync calendars. Both should then be toggles low in your calendar app. The only issue I have is that I ant access calendars that were shared with me, just ones of my own creation.

If your work calendar is under a different Google loving I would think you just need to set up that account and tell your phone to sync calendars there as well.

If you're dealing with a shared calendar I have no clue though.

I found this super secret way of making my iPod show my other shared google calendars. Is this what you need?

Thanks! Kareem's link was perfect. Basically I needed to be able to see my personal Google calendar on my iPhone and the same personal Google calendar on my work's Google calendar. I subscribed to my own personal calendar from work and synced with my phone with Kareem's link. LOIKE MAJICK!
