Google Calendar is a great tool because of how easily it can be integrated with other applications and devices. Using a single calendar across multiple locations lets you easily keep track of your appointments and events, and the assorted ways that you can receive notifications about these events means that you’re less likely to miss them. But sometimes you may need to do something with your Google Calendar that you can’t easily do from one of the various applications where your calendar data can be viewed, so you might need to export your calendar. Luckily this is something that you can accomplish by viewing your Google Calendar in a Web browser. That calendar can then be exported as an iCal file, which is compatible with a number of different other applications.
