JACKSON: ...I mean isn't that why we're doing this, all of this? The Stargate program, the budget? Isn't it so we can go and meet new races, gather advanced technology and possibly learn about ourselves in the process?
VALA: Oh, come on! you do it to meet women.
MITCHELL: She has a point, sir.
LANDRY: I've been thinking I need to get out on an offworld mission or two.

Welcome to the forum Gateworrior!
If the answer that you found is that the symbols were only supposed to be constellations in the movie than it is correct, in the show, they were just symbols, allthough they did form words, which we just recently found out after seven seasons, lol.

Something that bugged me for quite a while.
Considering the addresses represent in a way the vector in space to go from one gate to the other, if the 7th symbol is the point of origin, is unique for each stargate and is displayed on the gate itself, it means that every time they go to another planet, the team has to learn by heart the first 6 symbols of the address for Earth before they go on a mission, otherwise they might not be able to come back. Maybe they do it when they are briefed about the mission.. off screen. But it's a little curious they never mentioned it.
It's not like a phone number, that where ever you are, it is always the same digits!
But then, if they had to go from gate to gate until going back to Earth, or are transported to an unforseen planet, in a word, if they are on an unknown planet, I wonder how can they guess what will be the address to Earth... Because they don't know which way to point the wormwhole to.
Does it mean that, dialling towards Earth, the first 6 symbols are always the same what ever planet you are, and what differs is only the point of origin, which is written on top of the stargate ring.?

Daniel's actions in that escape scene conveyed to me the idea that Earth's addy would have been different, dialed from Chulak, then it was, dialed from Abydos, and not by merely one symbol.Gracie
A Cherokee elder sitting with his grandchildren told them,
"In every life there is a terrible fight – a fight between two wolves.
One is evil: he is fear, anger, envy, greed, arrogance, self-pity,
resentment, and deceit. The other is good: joy, serenity, humility,
confidence, generosity, truth, gentleness, and compassion."
A child asked, "Grandfather, which wolf will win?"
The elder looked the child in the eye. "The one you feed."

Originally posted by Tok'Ra HostessExcept that Daniel seemed to have no end of trouble dialing Earth from Chulak. He did know Chulak's unique symbol, and tried twice to show it to Jack soon after their arrival. At the end we see Daniel fumbling through his pack for the addy and then, slowly, somewhat clumsily, dialing out. It was seven symbols, FCOL, six of which he'd have known by heart, surely.

Okay, now a response to the thread's basis itself...
Bottom Line: You CAN dial out even if you don't know where you are. Solitudes was a VERY BAD example. They were trying to dial Earth, but they were ALREADY on Earth. So it didn't work. Duh.The success or failure of your deeds, does not add up to the sum of your life. Your spirit cannot be weighed! Judge yourself by the intentions of your actions, and by the strength with which you faced the challenges that have stood in your way. The Universe is so vast, and we are so small, there is only truly one thing we can control; whether we are good or evil... -Oma Desala
