Does what it says on the box. Lets you dial in an address and takes you there, displaying the star scape as it does so. You can also look around using arrow keys and navigate manually by pressing space bar.
The address system used here bears resemblance to what they describe on the show, but how close it actually is is hard to tell. The gate addresses from the show will have no specific meaning here, but they will take you somewhere. Also, the point of origin is not implemented, so you only need the first 6 glyphs. As you select a constellation, view will rotate to focus on it.
This version is very rough. It has been a few days in the making, and is more of a proof of concept. A lot more can be done in terms of UI, framerate, and graphics. I'm not sure if it would be worth the time to continue work, though. So I'm putting it here in hopes of hearing some suggestions.
Reverse lookup program is very slow, but if you need an address for a specific object, this is what you want. You'll need to know right ascension, declination, and distance to object in parsecs.
