What does "gazeteering" mean? What would be the appropriate Japanese translation?

I believe this would be a typo of "gazetteering". According to Wikipedia, "A gazetteer is a geographical dictionary or directory, an important reference for information about places and place names, used in conjunction with a map or a full atlas".
My suggested translation would be 地名検索機能 or 地名索引機能.

The word "gazetteering" is often seen. It must be to create a list of place names in the alphabetical order or the like. Just a guess...
