Harvest about a thousand and make a new chart (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

remap

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

'make a new chart' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot judge whether this works.

'harvest about a thousand' is the wordplay.
'harvest' becomes 'reap' (synonyms).
'about' is an insertion indicator.
'a thousand' becomes 'm' (Roman numeral for a thousand).
'reap' going around 'm' is 'REMAP'.

'and' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for remap that I've seen before include "Survey (area) again" , "(In computing) change the assignment of a function to a key" , "Make new plans" , "chart again" , "Draw a plan again" .)
