I have my calendar setup to export to Google. How often does this refresh?

Updates I have made to my calendar are showing up on my website, but not in the export info that Google has.

The iCal export produced by localendar is always 100% up-to-date (the same as your public calendar view)

The problem is with Google - they do not always refresh their iCal import; they cache it for some period of time. This is a known issue, and longstanding complaint (no doubt they do it for performance reasons)

The "official Google Answer":

Currently, calendar feeds are automatically updated by Google Calendar every few hours. We understand that some users want to have the ability to refresh the calendars they added manually and we are exploring various ways to enable this.

Popular opinion is that they may take up to 24 hours to refresh.

I should also mention that when you import an iCal link into localendar, we will always grab a fresh copy when displaying your calendar, so we don't have this issue.
