I thought about that for a while and I couldn't figure it out.  Only 
the Marauders knew how to use it.  There is something else to think 
about.  In the first book, it says that Ron got Scabbers from Percy.  
Pettegrew would know how to use the map, so did he tell the twins how 
to use it.  It is also funny(not ha-ha funny) that Percy is power 
hungary and some seem to think he is evil and he was the original 
owner of Scabbers.  Quite interesting.  Do you have any thoughts on 
this coincidence?
