Was there ever anything explicitly described about the dialing process for Supergates that indicate it doesn't follow the normal principles of dialing? I wonder because it seems that between the Tau'ri, Tok'ra, Asgard and even the Lucian Alliance, they would have been able to extrapolate an address and then create a dialing computer to activate the Supergate in the Milky Way. It seems doing so would have been far easier, especially with the Asgard's knowledge and resources, than their attempts to "jump" the wormhole from a normal gate to the Supergate.

That was the plan in "Camelot." However, it became useless as soon as those four Ori ships came through before they could enact it as, if they dialed out at that point, the Ori just would have just flown back over to the Milky Way supergate, destroyed any ships in the area, shut it down, and waited for their pals to send reinforcements. Therefore, the plan instead became to dial in as the Ori had no way to know where the other gate was located and thus had no way to know where to send their ships.
It might have worked post "Unending" as they finally had a weapon that could take on Ori ships and, in fact, Carter suggested dialing out again in the "Ark of Truth..."

While we think we could use the ZPM on board the Odyssey, unfortunately, it's nowhere near enough power to sustain an outgoing wormhole indefinitely.

I could imagine a story which involves SG-1 and Atlantis. They check the Atlantean database for Destiny type gates in the Pegasus galaxy which were planted originally by the Destiny ships, but then they were removed when the Ancients arrived. It would be cool to see that SG-1 ask for the help of citizens of the Ori galaxy and they start to send the parts of a new supergate through the normal stargates. Odyssey goes through the gate to locate new black holes at the other side of the galaxy or even they position some Destiny type gates next to black holes only to build a new supergate again. And they make the same almost in every third-fourth galaxies, so they build a series of supergates like the gate bridge just in a bigger version. That would be a nice way to catch the Destiny 20-30 galaxies away while they could include SG-1 and Atlantis team members. Destiny could return together with the Odussey after they defeated the drones. The End."I was hoping for another day. Looks like we just got a whole lot more than that. Let's not waste it."

The writers overcalculated the distance and the time dimensions for SG:U and SG:A. I could never understand why Atlantis have left millions of years ago, but they have returned from the Pegasus galaxy only ten tousands year ago? What were they doing in the middle? Has Atlantis visited other galaxies maybe?
How can the communication stone technology work in real time in such a huge distance if even wormholes can be opened by sacrificing a compelte planet? It doesn't make sense at all."I was hoping for another day. Looks like we just got a whole lot more than that. Let's not waste it."

It just seems like the majority of what we know of their history in Pegasus took place probably within the last 100,000 years, everything between that and their initial arrival in Pegasus probably constituted growth and adaptation to their new home. If I had to venture a guess, anyway.
