iPhone location showing incorrect location

Is there a way to go back and investigate where a phone was at a certain time?

Long story short, my wife pinged my phone at a location that i never went to. Our hotel was a few minutes away from that location where a friend (female) and her family resided at the same time. We found out we were at the same location by texting about our kids sports and we shared our locations since we thought it was a crazy coincidence, and we can get together so the kids can play or a bit.......and so this lead to a huge problem in my relationship here i have no way to prove my wife wrong.

What could have lead my phone to be pinged at a different location? sharing our locations? i can't think of anything else.

I'm sorry, but iPhone does not provide a means to see every location you've been, for privacy reasons. If it was me, I'd have my wife contact your friend if she's really doubtful.

thank you

You're welcome.
