Route Greek cartographer crosses on way north (5)

I believe the answer is:

track

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'route' is the definition.
(I know that route can be written as track)

'greek cartographer crosses on way north' is the wordplay.
'TRACK' is hidden back-to-front within the letters.
But, I'm unsure how this is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for track that I've seen before include "Extract from record" , "Rough path or road" , "Way" , "recording" , "Course over which races are run" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
