What is the purpose of genetic mapping?

Genetic mapping is mapping genes to a specific location on a chromosome. therefore the purpose is that it helps to tell where on the chromosome a mutation is. For example if scientists find were on a chromosome a gene for a certain mutation, they can conduct gene therapy to replace it with a normal version of that gene. Basically it just tells scientists the location of a mutation so they can fix it more efficiently.
