W. J. Floyd [Invent. Math. 57, 205-218 (1980; Zbl 0428.20022)] constructed a canonical group completion $$\bar G$$ for any group G. If G is a geometrically finite Kleinian group, $$\bar G$$ is closely connected to the limit set L(G) of G. The purpose of the paper is to use the group completion to construct a map $$f_{\phi}: L(G)\to L(H)$$ inducing a given isomorphism $$\phi$$ : $$G\to H$$ of two such groups. If there are no rank-1 parabolics, then $$f_{\phi}$$ is an isomorphism, but in the presence of such elements $$f_{\phi}$$ may be rather wildlooking. For instance, if the groups are Fuchsian of the first kind, $$f_{\phi}$$ may be noncontinuous at a dense set of points of $$\bar R=L(G)=L(H)$$. It is also shown that for groups of $$\bar R^ n$$, $$n\leq 2$$, the group completion can be realized as the limit set of another geometrically finite Kleinian group.
