Now we have three iPhones in the family , the idea of Push calenders that all sync with each other is a pretty useful thing . I love the Google sync for Contacts and Calender (far more reliable than Mobileme iIME ) - But I was under the impression that the iPhone was only able to sync with one (your default) Gmail calender.
Well , turns out this is not the case , Gmail is quite willing and able to Sync up to five calenders with the iPhone - but for some reason , Google have chosen to hide the settings away , and also they make them inaccessible to all but English speaking Americans !!

Here is the guide

Now, I had to change my location to USA and Language to English (thats English , not UK English !) to get any joy - I also had to try the process over and over again on each phone - with the proccess sometimes leading me to 404 errors , other times leading me to a Google branded "page you are looking for is not on this server" error , and other times it led me around in circles ! but it all worked in the end , and I now have multiple calenders , oush syncing on all our iPhones

Just a little miffed as to why Google hid this away like they have ?

Thats an awfull good find :)

The homepage for Google Sync is --> http://www.google.co.uk/sync/ With instructions for a whole load of different products, as you say..

Or use the http://m.google.com

It is certainly odd why they have held it back to US only.
