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.

MV ClansmanAt berth
Her status is about the ship, not about your sailing: this route has a live service notice.
Right now the trackers put MV Isle of Arran alongside at Oban, not MV Clansman. That is where she is, which is not the same as saying whose sailings these are.
Which vessel actually runs today is on the vessels list . This is the usual assignment, not a rota.
