Appstores and Trust

Correct. Mainly F-Droid or Raccoon@Windows with an Google-Fake-Account

I am already an extensive OSMAnd-user and I am loving it! But: for special things (opening times, realtime traffic+navigation, public transport in foreign countries,…) I want to have google maps as a relieable backup (the browser usage is very ugly).

So back to the main question: it seems I will need at least Open GApps Pico to install and use GoogleMaps APK. Other opinions / options?
