        $table->string('marker_name', 45);
        $table->timestamp('created_at')->default(DB::raw('CURRENT_TIMESTAMP'));
    });
    DB::raw("ALTER TABLE markers ADD COLUMN location POINT");
}

You can insert data as follows:

ModelName::firstOrCreate(
    array(
        ..//other fields
        'location' => DB::raw("(GeomFromText('POINT(37.774929 -122.419415)'))")
    )
);

To retrieve data:

SELECT X(`location`), Y(`location`) FROM markers;

I too was stuck here & got help from: Spatial Point functions using Laravel Eloquent ORM. Hope this helps.
