I still can't figure out why he didn't just "Accio" the map to him. 
Harry must really have been in panic mode to have forgotten that.

We don't know the current location of the map, although I'm sure it 
isn't lost for good. I for one would love to see Moody back to teach 
his year at Hogwarts (I know, JKR has guaranteed a female DADA 
teacher, but she didn't say which year). So maybe he'll find it in 
the fake Moody's stuff and Harry will have a lovely little scene as 
he tries to explain why he should have it back...
