I live in Southern California and I need a basic idea of where and
when to view Mars, Jupiter and Venus with the naked eye. I doesn't
have to be super exact, just the basics of what part of the sky would
have these planets and about what time and parts of the year. I
googled a lot of maps but only got star maps.

Very handy for a quick "What's up?"

Look west shortly after sunset. Venus is the brightest "star" close
to the western horizon. Mars is just to the right. Look east later
in the evening. Jupiter is the brightest "star" in the east. The Sky
and Telescope web site has an interactive star chart that will show
the locations of the planets. <http://www.skyandtelescope.com/>
