What you need to do is create your own rules file in
/etc/udev/rules.d/
something with a big number, let's say 99-my-garmin.rules

To find out how to make the rule (I suspect it's an usb device)... first run
`udevadm monitor` then plug the device you will get the device path
... something like
/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:12.2/usb1/.../.../...

Then run `udevadm info --attribute-walk --path=/devices/.../.../...`
and you'll get a bunch of properties that you can match in your own rule file.
