How to view Gmail contacts' birthdays in Google Calendar
I knew you could sync your Gmail contacts' birthdays and events with Google Calendar, but I could not find the 'Browse public calendars' link mentioned in the post Contacts' birthday and events calendar supported in Google Calendar.
I found it instead under Settings > Calendars > Browse interesting calendars > More > Contacts' birthdays and events > SubscribeOld building in Aurisina, Italy
Found while getting lost. Sometimes I cherish my lack of sense of
directions.
