Navigation aid that looks both ways (5)
I believe the answer is:
radar
This clue could be a double definition.
'navigation aid that looks' is the first definition.
'radar' can be an answer for 'navigation' (thesaurus). I am unsure of the rest of the definition.
'both ways' is the second definition.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for radar that I've seen before include "Gluttony" , "Ranging system" , "What shows range" , "Radio detection system" , "System for detecting things using radio waves" .)
