Hi loraine1,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities! We appreciate you reaching out for help with the location of your iPhone. We're glad to help.
We've got a great guide to share with you that explains how the location of your device is determined. Since it may use a combination of "GPS, Bluetooth, crowd-sourced Wi-Fi hotspots, and cellular towers to determine your location," the location may be approximate.
Let us know if you've got any questions about this guide:

Have a great day!
