tool or database to convert Gene ID to genomic position

Hello.
I have lots of Pseudogene IDs like LOC100431174 but none of the below methods worked for me to find their genomic position "offline". I need a table or package to do it offline without querying to a webpage.
methods I tried:
biomaRt: didn't have 100431174 in entrez id related annotations
genecode gtf files for hg38
ensembl gtf files for hg38
I can find them in ncbi like this but couldn't find this gene id in tools and dbs I mentioned. any help would be appreciated.

Since you want an offline solution, download gene2accession file from NCBI FTP site (Note: 2.1 G download).

Find the ID's you are looking for:

$ zgrep LOC100431174 gene2accession.gz
