Commented Issue: DbGeography with SQL Azure fails to get Latitude property -- NotImplementedException [656]

I work with a SQL Server 2012 table with a geography column, in my ASP.NET MVC Razor view, I have a line of code to access the Latitude / Longitude property of this column such as:

@this.Model.Geolocation.Latitude

It works locally with SQL Server 2012, Express or LocalDB.

However when I deploy it to the Windows Azure Websites with SQL Azure, it generates an error like this:

The method or operation is not implemented.
Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.

Exception Details: System.NotImplementedException: The method or operation is not implemented.

Not for sure this is a known issue or not, seems like the DefaultSpatialProvider stopped working.
