Is there a routes site that works properly for the Republic of Georgia?

We do have a question about alternatives to Google Maps, but it seems to focus on Eastern Europe and even though Georgia is culturally like Europe it's technically in either Western Asia, the Middle East, or the Caucasus, depending on who's opinion you're listening to.

But regardless of what region it's in, it's really hard to find a web site or service that covers it:

Where else can I look? Maybe there's some site that specializes in an area around Russia or Asia or the Middle East that works better?

In the comments you said that OpenStreetMap has good coverage for the areas you're interested in, so I'd suggest you just use one of the many route planners powered by the OSM dataset.

The one I've tended to use is OpenRouteService, which can handle routing by car, bike or foot. I've just tried asking that to route by car from Istanbul to Tbilisi, and it gave me what looked like a perfectly sensible route. This link should hopefully link to the suggested route.

In addition, there's a full list of route planners on the OpenStreetMap wiki. You can check on coverage, route options etc there, and use that to help decide which one to use.
