I am not familiar with this model, but I think that you don't read longitude and latitude with it. You have to find the longitude and latitude of your observing site (which you can do by various means) and then enter these into the Intelliscope controller.

The scope is a dobsonian and works on altitude and azimuth coordinates. Only equatorial mounts work on longitude and latitude coordinates. If you wanted to find the equivalent long/lat for an alt/az point, then you would have to google a conversion table or use something like stellarium which can show you both sets of coords for any point in the night sky. Far as I know though the intelliscope handset uses alt/az. :)
