I have a problem and it is RV related because I want to use my phone calendar on the road instead of lugging along my laptop.I want to maintain my 2003 MS Outlook calendar and automatically synch it with my Android calendar and my wife's iPad calendar. I use Gmail and have been using the Google calendar to accomplish this. I would enter an appointment in Outlook and it would synch with Google calendar and then to the others. But Google has blocked the synching program so that no longer works. I suppose that I am a victim of the Microsoft Google wars.Google is trying to force me to the cloud and their calendar program exclusively. I don't want to do that because the cloud is not always available when traveling.One option is to switch everything to Apple. I don't want to do that because it would be expensive and I worry about the thousands of documents I have created with Microsoft programs.Has anybody found a way to accomplish what I want now that Google has abandoned me?

I use Thunderbird personally, and Outlook only at work. You might be able to do so by opening an Outlook.com account, you don't need to use it for email, and sync to your calender(via Connector?). Which can then be used to sync with an Android and iPad device.There must also be some paid solutions available?

I was in the same predicament when Google Calendar Sync was finally disabled by Google in August 2014.The solution that I knew about for years but was not forced to use until now - Companionlink for Outlook. Not cheap but is apparently 'the best' and it works well.

I use "Companion Link" to sync my office outlook with my Google calendar and contacts. Works great. I paid $50 for lifetime subscriptio.

I've been using the free version of gsyncit. It works great.

Thanks all. Keep the suggestions coming.

How do you get the free version of gsyncit to work? According to their website it is limited to 50 entries and does not sync deletes -

"The unregistered version is limited to synchronizing one Google and Outlook calendar, synchronizing 50 contacts/note/tasks entries and does not sync deletes for contacts/notes/tasks entries. Registration will remove these limitations and remove any registration/nag dialogs from the application."

The Android app from Google to sync with Outlook has not been available for download for three years - and now it is finally totally discontinued and will no longer work. I use Mozilla Thunderbird and a add on that syncs to Google Calendar that works well. I gave up on using Outlook.
