It's a bit weird, isn't it?
Technically, the navigational tool is "a compass" and the geometric draw-a-circle tool is "a pair of compasses" (I don't know why) - but in general use, people just call both of them "a compass".
We've had hundreds of years to rename one of them, but for some reason haven't bothered.
