newbie with two questions

[mdj]

hi, two quick questions.

1. can i reverse a track, without converting it to a route first? when i convert it, it gets all messed up since its 90% offroad. so can i reverse it without converting?

2. can i just follow a track, without navigating on it? i want to see the track on my phone but i dont need tun-by-turn navigation for it. just a "follow track" function like in osmand

thank you for your time

1. No, only routes can be reversed.
2. Yes, open a route or a track and click the position indicator twice (arrow bottom right). This will show the route or track and your position will move along the line.

thank you for your quick help!

a follow-up question; When converting a track into a route, would it be possible to still display the orginal track on a layer so i can make quick adjustments to the route? right now i have the track and new route open in two tabs, dragging the map around to compare where/if something went wrong.

You can take a look in the Support section and find
Manual 'Display and merge multiple routes'.
And many, many more useful help.
