Where was Constantine II and when?

Precise dating for Constantine II's movements as emperor is virtually impossible. What we have has been analysed by Tim Barnes in "Imperial Chronology, A. D. 337-350," Phoenix 34 (1980), pp 160-166. To give some idea, this is all we have for certain:

c September 337    In Pannonia

?338                       German campaign

8 January 339        At Trier

Spring 340             Invades territory of Constans and is killed near Aquileia

The sources for those are: Julian, Or 1.19a; ILS 724; Theodosian Code 12.1.27 and Chron Min 1.236.
