The tool is funny and easy to use. My battery lasted the morning and then was finished. But I guess that is ok, since it had to log the gps and took many pictures and many notes.
Alright, before I have no time to do it, I want to show the use as companion of BeeGIS.
So I connect my HTC Dream via USB to my Ubuntu box. The phone asks me if I want to mount it as disk. I say yes and I get the following:

Note that GeoPaparazzi creates a folder geopaparazzi at the root of your sdcard.
Ok, then I start up BeeGIS and enter the File->Import dialog and find the Import GeoPaparazzi Data Folder item:

The next asks me for the geopaprazzi root folder and the processed items folder:

Once pushed finish, everything found inside the data folder will be imported as follows. I will explain how later. Images import is still not there, since I have some parts to fix first. Therefore the import will bring notes into a shapfile and the gpslog into both a lines shapefile and a points shapefile:

The NOTES shapefile is created with a TIMESTAMP and DESCRIPTION field:

The GPSLOG LINES shapefile is created with a STARTDATE and ENDDATE field:

And finally the GPSLOG POINTS shapefile is created with an ALTIMETRY and DATE field:

That's it for now, coming back soon with the orientated pictures part.
