How to access a field of type Geography using Doctrine?

Question

symfony

Hello!
MS SQL Server 2012. There is a table with a Geography type field.
It is necessary to add and read values ​​from a field of this type through Doctrine.
There is no such type in Doctrine 2.5 ( php bin/console Doctrine:mapping:import --force AppBundle annotation -> Unknown database type geography requested, Doctrine\DBAL\Platforms\SQLServer2008Platform may not support it.).

How can you befriend them?
Thank you!
