Keith Enevoldsen's Think Zone hosts a service that allows you to create a scale model of the solar system superimposed on a Google map/satellite image, with the Sun centered on the address you entered. You can move the planets and their labels around such that they line up with recognizable landmarks in your city.

This resource is part of the Exploring the Solar System Toolkit.
