<b>how anyone else know that a map had been burnt onto the glasses?</b>
We see how the Decepticons find out about the glasses - Frenzy's search for information about "Witwhicky" came back with a result of Sam's eBay page...
The Autobots were most likely brought up to speed by Bumblebee, and I don't recall any of the humans having any knowledge of the map at all.
<b>why did they bury the Cube in a dam to shield it from N.B.E. detection, only to house an N.B.E. in the room next door?</b>
They knew Megatron wasn't dead, merely frozen in stasis, as apparently they had a close shave with him nearly waking up when they shipped him to the Dam.
My guess is they built the Dam to keep the cube hidden, fearing invasion - but figured they could handle one "sleeping giant" ?
<b>why Bumblebee was interested in Sam in the first place even though he knew nothing of the glasses at that point?</b>
my guess is that Bumblebee was tracking "witwhicky" in much the same manner as Frenzy.
<b>why it was considered a good military decision to chose a city centre as the venue for the final battle?</b>
I would have thought that Lennox's line of reasoning was someing along the lines of: "These things turn into cars n stuff, maybe we can hide in the city (where theres lots of other cars) and get the jump on them!". Maybe he was hoping to make the Cube harder to trace, by masking its emissions amongst the background EM generated by the city?? Plus buildings offer some limited air-cover - although this would also hamper the air-support he was counting on...
<b>How did Megatron get his energy back after he crash landed on Earth all those years ago?</b>
If I'm not mistaken, the TF as a species "feed" by passively absorbing energy from ambient sources. Now, Ice-Age Earth wouldn't have too many of these laying around, but I'd imagine 70 odd years of being surrounded by primitive (read: energy wasting) electronic equipment, with no expenditure due to being frozen in "stand-by" mode would do wonders for Ol' Meg's Batteries.
