I'd think that they were more interested in making sure places (halls, 
passages, etc.) were empty than in "naming the dots".  They'd look, see 
dots where they expected to, make sure their path was clear, and then 
make mischief.

I think you're right.  The first time he used the map, I think Ron was 
already in Hogsmeade.  Actually, I think he meets Ron both times 
outside of Hogwarts. (Did he only use it twice in PoA? I don't remember 
more before Lupin got it.)
