# Example 3: Movement Analysis (OSMnx)
This example demonstrates how to use GIS-MCP's movement tools (powered by OSMnx) to download street networks and calculate shortest paths.
---
## Downloading a Street Network
**Prompt:**
```
download the street network for Berlin and save as Graph file. Please use gis mcp tools
```
**Action:**
- The tool will use OSMnx to download the drivable street network for Berlin and save it as a GraphML file.
---
## Calculating a Shortest Path
**Prompt:**
```
Use gis-mcp. calculate the shortest path between (52.5200, 13.4050) and (52.5155, 13.3777) using the saved Berlin driving network.
```
**Action:**
- The tool will load the saved GraphML file and compute the shortest path between the two points using OSMnx and NetworkX.
---
## Notes
- OSMnx supports various network types: "drive", "walk", "bike", etc.
- The output path is a list of node IDs; you can visualize it using OSMnx plotting functions or export to other formats.
