What exactly does it do
The Menu Button/Switch on the AC ?
You press it and it just shows where the air blows?Is that all?Seems kinda pointless...

That is exactly what it does, it brings up the AC display that shows you the air distribution. I essentially never use it but some people might find it useful and it looks cool.

The button is such a waste of useful space. it didn't need to be that big, the fan speed and temperature could have been wider instead.

Agreed. In fact I keep in auto so really only use the temp which could have been wider instead. Sometimes I don't hit it the first time and hit auto instead or I hit the fan button then have to press auto again. Nitpicking though. The design is nice.

On the C class, you get a nice visual representation of fan speed, temp, and vent. On the E, its useless because they are using the same band of buttons on both cars but changed the software

Also once we are at it. I like when in radio mode you see the digital read out of temp stuff at bottom. But when in nav it disappears unless you are adjusting it. They have so much room so why not display it at bottom with street name off to side or something.

Don't get me started on wasted space in nav screen! High Res, pointlessly wide (who cares about roads 5 miles away to the sides) and all they put on it is ETA/traffic delay/remaining distance all wedged in to a postage stamp box. Why the hell doesn't it have now and next turn info in a side box with constant distance countdown? Super useful and tons of space to do it.
The nav system, actually most of the software, is pretty to look at but shallow as hell.

Also, in dash why not show trip, odometer and distance to empty? They show a clock 50 places but not that?
Thry should look at Audi virtual cockpit. It is more common sense with info without clutter and customizable too.
The Mercedes system is good. Just not fully realized or common sense in a few key places or customer changeable.
