Orienteering [BB311]

untitled You won’t get lost today, since every answer holds GPS from left to right. Peek, say, is GLIMPSE, while signatures are AUTOGRAPHS. Sounds simple enough, right? But so does a trip to the local shops until the council installed that new roundabout on High Street, not to mention the lock-up gates on the peak-hour rat-run. Time to punch in the coordinates and arrive at your multiple destinations. Safe motoring.

  1. Stares in wonder
  2. Collingwood
  3. Nomad
  4. Vegetables
  5. Flower
  6. Rumour sources
  7. Africans
  8. Pacific islands
  9. Fence sitters
  10. Chiefs
  11. Dabs
  12. Navigational aid – that’s NOT a GPS!
  13. Two musical instruments

Any more ‘navigational’ words?

SOLUTION NEXT WEEK
BB310 SOLUTION: Eiffel Tower, British Empire, hidden image, game show, armoire, Central American, user-generated, not any longer

14. Brief look
15. Eastern Victoria

plus lots of words containing G and P ending a plural S, (gaps, grapes, gripes, gropes, etc) but that's too easy.

DA: perhaps you should exclude words starting with G or ending with S? (which would exclude the two above...)

...that was meant to be a plural S.

16. Rural lobbying
17. North African antiquarian
18. Solar wind boundary
20. Merged city

That's how I read it. By the dictionary: a native or inhabitant of Estonia, Latvia, or Lithuania.

(Now, if only I'd got 13a)
