got a drone and it had this in the box (gps?)

[TeknikL]

does this mean the GPS inside is updated ?

what software is compatible with these drones anymore?

That definitely implies the GNSS unit was upgraded.

For software, Mission Planner or QGC (free) are what you need for a PC.
For Solo, either SOLEX ($30 one time) for an Android based phone/tablet, or SidePilot ($13) for iOS.
