Things that don't need to be master cautions

Light maneuvering causes my GTN 650 to briefly lose satellite reception, which immediately sets off a master caution in the headset about the ADS-B position source.  This is at best worthy of a message, but considering I'm not even required to have a position source installed...it's DEFINITELY not a master caution-level event.

The same goes for compass calibration--a message at every boot would be reasonable, but an unclearable master caution is a bit excessive.  A baro setting mismatch is announced by a message, and I consider an improper baro setting to be considerably more hazardous than an uncalibrated compass.
