A couple of quick questions for you.
Where do I get additional locations from? They don't appear on the website. Or isn't this important if I have accurate lat/long settings.
It also asks me to select a the type of telescope, I am not sure which option to select for the Heq5pro. The options are: ASCOM Dome, Generic Hub, Pipe Diagnostic, POTH Hub and Simulator.
Any help would be appreciated.

You can set your own lat and long settings in the box provided and it will remember these the next time that you start the program. So if you have an accurate GPS setting just enter it. The next version of the program will have the ability to add additional sites which will be there for further reference. Make such your laptop has an accurate time setting as well and that the time zone is accurate for your position.
For the HEQ5PRO mount select the generic ASCOM driver for EQMOD relating to HEQ5/EQ6 mounts and use that with EQMOD. Download from EQMOD or ASCOM (cant remember which as I'm at work at the moment). In the properties box for the EQMOD ASCOM EQ5/6 select your port (Com) settings etc and away you go. You can either plug into the bottom of the handset the serial adapter that came with the mount (to update programs) and use this to communicate with a planetarium program thru ASCOM or get a dedicated single cable connection that does away with the handset. See post by Peter_4059 regarding this as he is the expert. See this post
