Meteosat 7 was every 30 min. The latest generation with Meteosat 8 and Meteosat 9 are every 15 min. I believe I read some where it is actually operating every 5 min over the summer and this is something which they were looking at doing operationally from some point next year.

There are reference lat/lon on most of them but they don't put numbers on the markers.
