Avoid view-manager returning default SGGeod

- when switching views, force an update() to ensure view position
  is valid. Otherwise various subsystems such as AI traffic and the
  tile manager see a request for a 0,0 location.

- when switching to model view, we still generate a 0,0
  location initially - to be fixed.
