Once the alignment is done and you connect to a pc or Tablet using a Serial cable ,Bluetooth or wifi it will show you the position of the scope at the last move or goto

Just a note here.
If you have a 497/Audiostar controller and are polar aligned, the Alt and Az reported via serial commands lies
. The reported RA/DEC is correct, but the reported Alt and Az is utter crud. The Alt/Az shown on the hbx is correct, but the rs232 returns are just wrong.

Oh as Barry said the hand controller must be left connected to the mount

For the 497/Audiostars, yes, but the LX200 GPS/LX600/RCX/LX850 can all be run without a handbox if required.
Also, the 497s can actually be run quite happily via a remote handbox if the scope has not been aligned. ie you can actually do a full remote unpark or align if required, but you do need the hbx connected to the scope.
