Wrong. First you have no evidence that the location of the outgoing gate is stored in the PoO symbol. In any case, it isn't. The stargate has NO need to send its own position, it only needs to send the wormhole to the position identified by the outgoing address. We've been over this time and again. The co-relative update has NOTHING to do with telling other stargates its new position. What it DOES do, is slightly alter the represented grid position of each of the gate symbols (except for the PoO, which is seperate), so that the symbols remain valid due to stellar drift. As I've already said before, the Stargate Network works on a pan-galactic X,Y,Z coordinate grid, that allows each gate to keep its address over long periods of time, without having to change the address.
*sheesh*
Here's a visual. Maybe it will help.
Hopefully this drawing will help give folks some understanding of the whole X1, X2, Y1, Y2, Z1 and Z2 thing about the addresses (the 6 symbols in the address). It follows the map coordinate grid idea, just a little more accurately than the previous drawing above.
edit: Oops... The Blue should be Y1, and Y2. Not X. The green should be Z1 and Z2. Sorry.
