I have recently upgraded to MySQL 5.7 and was trying to run a replication from 5.6 master. However the replication fails with the following error:

Error 'Cannot get geometry object from data you send to the GEOMETRY field' on query.

Turns out it also happens when I try to import data from the mysqldump. Table structure is as follows:

CREATE TABLE `locations` (

`location_id` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,

`country_id` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL,

`name` varchar(100) CHARACTER SET utf8 NOT NULL,

`locations_type_id` int(11) unsigned NOT NULL,

`parent_id` int(11) unsigned DEFAULT NULL,

`importance` decimal(3,2) NOT NULL DEFAULT '1.00',

`lat` decimal(10,7) DEFAULT NULL,

`lng` decimal(10,7) DEFAULT NULL,

`radius` decimal(6,3) DEFAULT NULL,

`polygon` polygon DEFAULT NULL,

PRIMARY KEY (`location_id`),

KEY `name` (`name`,`locations_type_id`,`parent_id`,`lat`,`lng`),

KEY `locations_type_id` (`locations_type_id`),

KEY `name_2` (`name`(8)),

KEY `country_id` (`country_id`)

) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1;

It appears to me that the import is trying to insert some binary data into the polygon field but in fairness I have no idea how to make it work.

Any ideas?
