Which navigation app should you use in Georgia?
Online and offline maps for the city, highways and mountains.
Short answer
Google Maps works well in Georgia, and 2GIS and Yandex Maps are handy in town, with listings and public transport for Tbilisi and Batumi. For mountains and places without signal, download offline maps in Google Maps or Maps.me beforehand. Before heading into the mountains, check that the road is open, as navigation apps do not always know about seasonal closures.
Why
- Google Maps covers all roads in the country and shows city traffic.
- 2GIS and Yandex Maps show Tbilisi and Batumi in detail, including transport routes.
- Mobile signal drops in the mountains, so offline maps are more reliable.
Details
In winter, passes may close, such as the Jvari (Cross) Pass road to Kazbegi or the mountain roads to Racha and Tusheti. Road conditions are published by the Roads Department of Georgia.
Tip
Download the offline map of the region before leaving town, while you still have Wi-Fi.
