The premise is that the glyphs represent star constellations which are used as a kind of coordinate system. If that were so, then the problem on the other side would not be to find some tablets to help decipher the symbols. The actual problem would have been that the star constellations look completely different when seen from a different planet thousands of light-years away. In fact, with changes of magnitude, some stars might not be visible at all, while other stars form completely different constellations when watching the night sky from the remote planet. So you would have to observe the night sky until you found all the constellations used on the remote gate, but even if you identified them, you would have no clue where Earth was in that second coordinate system.
However the Ancients seem to have already taken this into account, with the stargate addresses being specific to each stargate (As Daniel points out when they see video of the other stargate from the probe footage "These markings are different. They don't match the symbols on our gate."). Therefore, all they would need is the cartouche on the Abados cover stones in order to have the location of Earth ... which they had, but what they DIDN'T have was the symbol for the point of origin, Abados (the pyramid with 3 moons).
With a one-to-one relationship, stargate addressing wasn't an issue with this movie, however it BECAME an issue when they made the movie into a TV series (SG1), with Abados having multiple addresses it could dial to.
