Exporting D6 content to D7 website

Now that D6 is no longer supported, it was a must to move D6 sites I maintain to D7. This guide is the recipe to moving simple content with non-complicated CCK fields from D6 site to a D7 site.

Prepare your new site

Create all required content types on the new D7 site. Add all required fields to content types.

Trovequery

The Trovequery module integrates Drupal views with the National Library of Australia's Trove API service as a datasource.

Geolocation field

This patch for Geolocation field module provides a destination handler which exposes geolocation fields for mapping.

Geolocation field requires both latitude and longitude values, so it doesn't make sense to use the primary value, i.e. map to field itself.
In order to use it, please map values to the subfields (mapping to the field won't work)
