Reverse a GPX track??

[Brian Dunham]

I have figured out how to record and import GPX tracks.  I also was able to figure out how to get turn by turn navigation to work along the track.  Only problem-I would like to be able to reverse the direction of the track.  So, if I record a track in the backcountry and want to follow it back to my starting point, with navigation.  I suspect this is very simple, but I haven't figured it out.  Garmin uses the term "trackback" if I recall correctly.  Thanks for any help.

After opening the gpx-file look for the option "Reverse GPX direction"

Can you explain where to find that option?  I have tried using "display map layers" and showing the desired GPX, I haven't figured out how to select the track and find that option.  I have also gone into "my places/GPX data" and selected it.  When I hold for options it gives me the options to (unselect/show on map/rename/delete/export),  No reverse direction. Now, I may be selecting and setting up navigation wrong.  I usually select the map layer, show the track and hit the hit directions-it will prompt to "use displayed track for navigation?".  Am I doing this wrong?

Thanks.

There are several ways to start a navigation with a gpx-track.
I will explain one of them, may be, that it is not the best one...

Open Map
open "map layers", then select "GPX track"
select your gpx-file
open menu, then "Directions"
on question "Do you want to use displayed track for navigation" answer YES
Now you find a button with car symbol on right-bottom (if you did not change the default mode to something else)
click on it
the second option is "Reverse GPX direction"
check it.
now start- and destination point (and the direction) are exchanged.
...
Does it work ?

Peter, thank you very much for your explanation, that worked perfectly.  I think I tried every button, menu and check box in the program-except the profile one.  Figured it was around somewhere!  Once again, thanks.
