But wait, if Harry looked, he would see Moody was in his office, wouldn't he? 
 That's where the real Moody was, locked in the trunk.  And the time he did 
notice the name "Bartemius Crouch" on the map, he assumed it was Crouch, Sr.  
He was just heading over to investigate, and he would have figured it out 
right after he dropped the egg on the staircase if the map hadn't been to far 
away for him to reach.  Crouch-as-Moody pocketed that map very quickly when 
he knew what it was, because it said "Bartemius Crouch" was standing there 
with Harry, Filch, and Snape.  Crouch-as-Moody questioned Harry to make sure 
he wasn't on to him, then he asked to keep the map.

Harry didn't notice that Crouch and Moody were in Moody's office together so 
often before that because Harry didn't have any reason to keep looking at 
Moody's office.  He only used the map when he was sneaking around, looking at 
the spot where he was, and making sure nobody was coming around that area, 
mostly looking out for Filch and Mrs. Norris.
