Legal Question in Criminal Law in Georgia
Can I leave the state if I have not been charged but awaiting trial?

The question makes no sense. You cannot be awaiting trial IF you have not been charged. I guess you mean: You were arrested, made bond and are now waiting to be indicted, so you know what the charges are that you face. So, I assume the question is can I leave the state whiel on bond. The answer is it depends. If you bonded out with a bondsman, then you can only leave, if you have the bondsman permission. If you made a cash or property bond, you can leave the state, as long at the bond conditions do not prohibit leaving the state. Even more interesting you don't have an attorney to whom you can direct all of these questions. What are you wating for? Are you waiting to see if you are indicted before you hire an attorney. Good luck with that.

Your question makes no sense. If you are awaiting trial in a case, you HAVE been charged, which means you already should have a lawyer.
It also likely means you are on bond, and some bonds prohibit you leaving the state.
The fact that you do not have an attorney and are posting here instead almost tells us you are trying to break into jail. Hire counsel, which you already should have done.
