I purchased this unit in hopes it would help me track down a number of different outlets installed in my new home by the previous owner. The genius said nothing. Not only was this perfect, but it also made it easy to trace the wire connectors that the previous owner had installed. I had 5 over the air and 5 cable jacks all mapped within 10 minutes. Now I'm asking everyone if they need help mapping their homes. Even if I don't use it after 5 years, it's worth it.
