Checked once when you tap it, not tracked. Turn it off any time.
Google Maps opens set to avoid ferries. Apple Maps cannot be: if it offers a route with a ferry in it, pick a road-only route, as a cancelled ferry can cost you the sailing.
Typical off-peak drive times, not live traffic. Allow extra at peak times, on single-track roads and in poor weather, and check the road before a long run. Tap a leave-by time for live traffic and turn-by-turn directions in your own map app.
