So professional drivers, watched by their employer, are using those to escape the control.

Even if they allow them to disable the GPS, it would be a reason for firing smb. Or to cut their wage since, drivers with GPS on will get a bonus if they are faster. Or sth shit like that.

It's illegal to spy on your workers through a camera in most EU countries. Why should GPS tracking be legal?

A camera and GPS are two very different technologies with distinct capabilities that do not overlap.

I mean they both will reveal your location at a given time, so I'd say there's some overlap.
