dan – I suspect that Exchange is a better method than CalDAV. I think it allows multiple calendars just fine, etc. HOWEVER, Only one Exchange sync is allowed, so if you are a corporate Exchange sync’er for email, you must use CalDAV to sync to google calendar.

Cara – the first time I tried that, it asked me to log in, but I think I had a typo. Now every URL like that I try gives me “Method Not Allowed”.

@Paulb: If the only calendar on your iPhone is the Google CalDAV calendar, then you will only have one calendar on your iPhone.

So there’s not actually a way to sync your local iPhone cal with the online google one so that they are the same, rather than having the two of them both available but separate on your phone?

So, first thanks for everyone who contributed to this thread so far. I discovered something pretty cool when trying a short cut for the instructions that I’d like to share. Since the URL address is so long, I copied it and emailed it to myself in order to paste into CALdav. However, when I touched the URL address on my iPhone, I got a prompt asking if I wanted to subscribe. I accepted –had to answer this prompt twice, and then got a message saying the account was added and I could hit view events or done. I clicked view events and my second calendar was there. Very psyched. When I go to Calendars, I can choose which calendars to view or All Calendars.
This seemed to circumnavigate the whole set up process… Works with Google Calendars and the URL found at the bottom of each calendar.

@ktula the setup is exactly the same as this caldav method except you choose “exchange” instead of “other” during the setup.

I just don’t know what the difference is between the two types of connections and if there are any benefits over eachother
