Finding route with HERE offline

I want to find a route with HERE but offline.
The target of the route should be human readable text (like Berlin) and not latitude/longitude values.
Now I'm using RoutePlan class which requires lat/long values, and I'm using Geocoder to translate readable text to lat/long values.
But in offline mode (no WiFi, no Cellular Data) I can't use Geocoder to get the lat/long of a place.
How nonetheless can I use HERE maps in offline mode to find a route?

In addition to David Leong's answer, I had to use HERE's GeocodeRequest instead of Geocoder to get the latitude and longitude.

Are you using the HERE android SDK? If so, you most certainly can.

What you need are two things:

1: Download some maps via our MapLoader APIs.

2: Set MapsEngine#setOnline(false) to change the engine to offline only mode.

Geocoding will work offine if the data is downloaded. Routing, guidance and and map rendering will work too.
