[support] Pathauto, Menu Trails, Views and the active menu item

[Carl Wiedemann]

What type of field is field_region? You may have better luck if field_region
is a nodereference field, where the regions are nodes and the product nodes
refer to the region nodes. Views attach
http://drupal.org/project/views_attach may be of use to show products for a
given region or vice versa.

A simpler solution could be to use taxonomy instead.
