    Hi, as you can see that image is hosted by Google. So they’re claiming they can’t access an image hosted by themselves 🙁 That’s a bit bizarre and unfortunately not something we can fix as we have no control over things hosted by them. I believe it’s just a temporary thing that will sort itself out, but if it doesn’t the only thing I can suggest is contacting GWT support and ask them to see what’s going on. Really not much we can do here 🙁

    Hi – I did contact them and someone responded FYI:

    There’s not much (i.e. nothing) you can do. It’s Google itself that is blocking resources on their end in their robots.txt file:
    http://maps.googleapis.com/robots.txt

    All it allows for bots is to access (certain?) javascript files.

    Yes, the robots file really does look like it’s blocking images 🙁 Sorry, really nothing that can be done until Google changes that.
