1. A method for managing navigation of an aircraft, the method comprising: identifying positions for the aircraft from position information from sensors;displaying graphical indicators on a graphical user interface in a display system, wherein the graphical indicators identify the positions for the aircraft;displaying range rings around the graphical indicators, wherein the range rings indicate accuracy bounds for the positions;changing, responsive to receiving a user input, a display location, on the graphical user interface in the display system, of a system graphical indicator for the position of the aircraft in the graphical indicators;identifying a position of the aircraft via identifying positions in the position information from the sensors and using a new location for the system graphical indicator as an initial position for calculations for identifying the position of the aircraft from other positions identified by the sensors; andremoving, responsive to a graphical indicator representing a sensor no longer used in identifying the position of the aircraft, the graphical indicator from the graphical user interface. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein the step of displaying graphical indicators comprises: displaying the graphical indicators on the graphical user interface on a touchscreen device in the display system. 3. The method of claim 1, wherein a range ring in the range rings has a radius that indicates an area in which a position of a sensor in sensors may be found with a selected level of certainty. 4. The method of claim 3, further comprising: disabling a sensor originating the position information for the graphical indicator based on removing the graphical indicator from the graphical user interface. 5. The method of claim 3, wherein the changing step comprises: shifting a graphical indicator to the new location; and further comprising: adjusting a number of other graphical indicators in the graphical indicators based on the new location of the graphical indicator. 6. The method of claim 1, wherein a system graphical indicator in the graphical indicators indicates a position of the aircraft based on the positions indicated by the graphical indicators for the sensors. 7. The method of claim 1, wherein the display system is located in at least one of a flight management system or an electronic flight bag. 8. The method of claim 1, wherein the range rings indicate ranges for the positions with a selected level of certainty. 9. The method of claim 1 further comprising: receiving the position information from the sensors, wherein the sensors are selected from at least one of an inertial navigation unit, a global navigation satellite system receiver, a VHF omnidirectional radio range unit, distance measuring equipment, or a localizer receiver. 10. An apparatus that comprises: a navigation function configured to: identify positions for an aircraft from position information from sensors;display graphical indicators on a graphical user interface in a display system, such that the graphical indicators identify the positions for the aircraft;display range rings around the graphical indicators, such that the range rings indicate accuracy bounds for the positions;change, responsive to a reception of a user input, a graphical indicator in the graphical indicators displayed on the graphical user interface in the display system; andresponsive to a disablement of a sensor that originates the position information for the graphical indicator, change the graphical indicator. 11. The apparatus of claim 10, wherein the navigation function displays the graphical indicators on the graphical user interface on a touchscreen device in the display system. 12. The apparatus of claim 11, wherein a range ring in the range rings has a radius that indicates an area in which a position of a sensor in sensors may be found with a selected level of certainty. 13. The apparatus of claim 12, further comprising: a display of a system graphical indicator, for the position of the aircraft in the graphical indicators, on the graphical user interface in the display system, configured to change responsive to a reception of a user input; andthe navigation function configured to identify a position of the aircraft based upon the positions identified from the position information from the sensors based upon a use of a new location for the system graphical indicator as an initial position for new calculations that identify the position of the aircraft based upon the positions identified by sensors. 14. The apparatus of claim 10, wherein a system graphical indicator in the graphical indicators indicates a position of the aircraft based on the positions indicated by the graphical indicators for the sensors. 15. The apparatus of claim 10, wherein the display system is in one of a flight management system and an electronic flight bag. 16. The apparatus of claim 10, wherein the range rings indicate ranges for the positions with about a selected level of certainty. 17. An apparatus that comprises a navigation function configured to: identify positions for an aircraft from position information from sensors;display graphical indicators on a graphical user interface on a touchscreen device in a display system, such that the graphical indicators identify the positions for the aircraft;display a range ring around each of the graphical indicators, respectively, such that each range ring indicates an accuracy bound for each of the graphical indicators via a radius that indicates an area in which a position of a sensor in sensors may be found with a selected level of certainty;change, responsive to a reception of a user input, a graphical indicator in the graphical indicators displayed on the graphical user interface in the display system; andresponsive to a disablement of a sensor that originates the position information for the graphical indicator, change the graphical indicator. 18. The apparatus of claim 17, further comprising: a display of a system graphical indicator, for the position of the aircraft in the graphical indicators, on the graphical user interface in the display system, configured to change responsive to a reception of a user input; andthe navigation function configured to identify a position of the aircraft based upon the positions identified from the position information from the sensors based upon a use of a new location for the system graphical indicator as an initial position for new calculations that identify the position of the aircraft based upon the positions identified by sensors. 19. The apparatus of claim 17, wherein a system graphical indicator in the graphical indicators indicates a position of the aircraft based on the positions indicated by the graphical indicators for the sensors. 20. The apparatus of claim 17, wherein the display system is in one of a flight management system and an electronic flight bag.
