I believe the Resistance didn't know R2 had the remaining map piece.
Also (mostly to Muta) It was Luke who commanded R2 not to awaken until a specific somebody came and reveal the rest of the map to the worthy hero. That somebody being Rey in this case.
EDIT: I thought it was pretty clear during Rey's flashback scenes when Luke places his hand on R2, he is sealing the secret within until Rey's coming.
