I suspect that they may not have used the map as much as we might suspect.
Once they located all the secret passages, it's only function was if they
were sneaking around the halls and wanted to see who might be around.  They
were probably pretty good at this even without the map.

  I often mention that if Dumbledore were a D&D wizard with even half,
  even a quarter of the power level that we have been given to
  understand that Dumbledore has, he would have Detects (Detect Evil,
  Detect Illusion, Detect Disguise, etc) running constantly. Detects
  must be a hell of a lot more expensive in JKR's universe than in D&D
  universe. However, for all the years that Scabbers was a boring but
  good pet rat to Ron Weasley, Percy before him, and maybe Bill or
  Charlie before that (chronology!), the only Detect that would have
  detected him is Detect Transformed Being.

  ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

  We are told that Percy used to own Scabbers, right?  And Fred and George
had the map for ages.  On Lupin's desk, the map revealed Peter's real name,
not Scabbers.  Wouldn't F&G have noticed this before, and knew something
wasn't right?  I really don't think they'd  let that mystery go without
investigating?

  Just a thought.
