We show that the set $SA(G)$ of equivalence classes of synchronously automatic structures on a geometrically finite hyperbolic group $G$ is dense in the product of the sets $SA(P)$ over all maximal parabolic subgroups $P$. The set $BSA(G)$ of equivalence classes of biautomatic structures on $G$ is isomorphic to the product of the sets $BSA(P)$ over the cusps (conjugacy classes of maximal parabolic subgroups) of $G$. Each maximal parabolic $P$ is a virtually abelian group, so $SA(P)$ and $BSA(P)$ were computed in ``Equivalent automatic structures and their boundaries'' by M.Shapiro and W.Neumann, Intern. J. of Alg. Comp. 2 (1992) We show that any geometrically finite hyperbolic group has a generating set for which the full language of geodesics for $G$ is regular. Moreover, the growth function of $G$ with respect to this generating set is rational. We also determine which automatic structures on such a group are equivalent to geodesic ones. Not all are, though all biautomatic structures are.
