I tend to get slightly more complicated then that, because I have
more then one device that looks like a USB serial port. So I have a
udev rule to create a symlink specific to the device, and then have
console.perms trigger on the symlink instead of the device. For an
example, take a look at the udev rules that are part of the gpsd
package. I suspect something like this would work:
SUBSYSTEM=="tty", SYSFS{idVendor}=="091e", SYSFS{idProduct}=="0003",
SYMLINK="gps%n"
You would then use "<garmin>=/dev/gps*" instead of
"<garmin>=/dev/ttyS0". That way, it covers the case where you have
more then one GPS device connected.
