Plus, you must basically know the location of where you are going.Both of these elements are required as per the Teleport spell. How you gain the information on layout and location and how the Teleport spell uses that information is basically irrelevant.What is relevant is that you must have these two pieces of information. Now typically, Scrying does not give you location information, just creature and surrounding area (10 feet radius) information (i.e. layout information). However, the Teleport spell explicitly states that Scrying can be used, hence, this is an exception to how Teleport normally works. The information gained by the Scrying is sufficient enough for the location information required by Teleport.Now, for a non-moving destination where you have been there before, you already know location and you probably have a good idea of layout (unless it has drastically changed).</blockquote>
