To get iCal on your Google Calendar, follow these steps: First, open Google Calendar and find the 'Add other calendars' option on the left-hand side. Select 'From URL’ and insert the iCal link of the calendar you wish to add. Make sure the URL ends with '.ics'. After clicking 'Add calendar', Google Calendar will synchronize with the iCal calendar. Do note, however, that changes made in Google Calendar will not reflect on the original iCal calendar; the synchronization is one-way only.
