  Stargate Command - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
Stargate Command (abbreviated to SGC), is a fictional top-secret military base tasked with operating the Stargate device and all matters pertaining to things offworld, such as threats to Earth or missions to procure new technology from extraterrestrial civilisations, in the science fiction television series Stargate SG-1.
Jackson intuited that the strange symbols around the Stargate device were actually representations of constellations (rather than hieroglyphs), and that the device could 'dial' another Stargate by 'locking' seven (or, much later, up to nine) of its chevrons onto these symbols, somewhat like a combination lock.
About a year and a half after the first activation of the Stargate and the mission to Abydos (about half a year after the creation of the SGC and the SG teams), a second Stargate was found on Earth, in Antarctica.

 Consternation about constellations - Johnny Fanboy
In the original Stargate movie, Daniel Jackson states that the symbols on the Abydos Stargate are different from those on the Earth Stargate.
For the Stargate network to operate, we must assume that each of the symbols that appear around each Stargate denote a particular position in space, and that these positions are represented on each and every Stargate.
Presumably our heroes were able to deduce which symbols on the Earth Gate related to the corresponding symbols on the Abydos Gate, by counting round their positions from 12 o'clock, and were thus able to follow Apophis to Chulak.
