User Guide: KMZ Geopapa Import (v0.2)

This QGIS plugin allows you to import data from .kmz files generated by the Geopaparazzi application, converting them into CSV files for use in QGIS or other software.

Import Steps

1. Open the Plugin:

   In QGIS, go to the “Plugins” menu and select “Import kmz files” to open the import dialog.

2. Select KMZ File:

   Click the “…” button next to the “KMZ File” field and select the .kmz file you exported from Geopaparazzi.

3. Choose the Form:

   The plugin will analyze the KMZ file and list all the forms (layers) it finds in the “Choose the form to process” dropdown menu. Select the form you want to import.

4. Select Output Folder:

   Click the “…” button next to “Output folder” to choose the folder where the resulting CSV file will be saved.

5. (Optional) Reproject Coordinates:

   If you want to convert the original coordinates (WGS84) to another reference system:

   • Check the “Reproject to project CRS” box.

   • Choose the destination CRS from the dropdown menu.

   • The output CSV file will include two new columns, xtrsf and ytrsf, with the reprojected coordinates.

6. Process:

   Click the “Process” button. The plugin will create a .csv file in the output folder. The file name will be based on the name of the form you selected (e.g. my_form.csv).

Result

When finished, you will find a CSV file in the output folder ready to be loaded into QGIS as a delimited text layer or to be analyzed in other software.
