Definition
罗经 is a specialized term for a navigation compass, particularly the magnetic compass used in maritime or aviation contexts. It's a formal, technical word — you won't hear it in everyday conversation; the common word for a simple compass is 指南针 (zhǐnánzhēn). 罗经 appears in nautical charts, ship navigation manuals, and aviation instruments.
