Just as a reminder: The plugdev group is now deprecated. (This means the solutions suggested here might not work in the future.)

I found this link on how to add PolicyKit / Hal rules for a new class of USB devices: http://osdir.com/ml/fedora-devel-list/2009-01/msg00227.html

I could not find any info on whether there is already a name/namespace reserved for GPS devices. I consider working out the details in the future, but don't have the time at the moment. (Maybe in a few weeks)

Maybe someone could clarify where such new rules should go (which package) or whether a new package should be created on which other packages that use the Garmin GPS via USB could depend.
