What is claimed is: 1. An emergency vehicle alert system for providing information as to a location of an emergency vehicle to a motor vehicle, the system comprising: a first GPS receiving unit that is provided on the emergency vehicle and that is configured to receive GPS signals and to determine emergency vehicle location information of the emergency vehicle as a result thereof; a transmitter unit that is provided on the emergency vehicle and that is configured to transmit the emergency vehicle location information by way of an emergency vehicle location signal that includes the emergency vehicle location information; a second GPS receiving unit that is provided on the motor vehicle and that is configured to receive GPS signals and to determine vehicle location information of the motor vehicle as a result thereof; a receiver unit that is provided on the motor vehicle and that is configured to receive the emergency location signal output by the transmitter unit of the emergency vehicle; and a map display that is provided on the motor vehicle and that is configured to display, on a map, a current location of the motor vehicle as provided by the vehicle location information, and that is configured to display, on the map, a current location of the emergency vehicle as provided by the emergency vehicle location information obtained from the emergency vehicle location signal received by the receiver unit when the receiver unit is in communication range with respect to the transmitter unit. 2. The emergency vehicle alert system according to claim 1, wherein the emergency vehicle is one of a police vehicle, a fire station vehicle, and a school bus. 3. The emergency vehicle alert system according to claim 1, further comprising: an audible warning unit that is configured to output an audible alarm within a passenger compartment of the motor vehicle when the emergency vehicle location signal is received by the receiver unit. 4. The emergency vehicle alert system according to claim 3, wherein the audible warning unit is configured to output computer-generated speech that provides information with respect to a particular street location and moving direction of emergency vehicle with respect to the motor vehicle. 5. An emergency vehicle alert system for a first emergency vehicle and a second emergency vehicle comprising: in the first emergency vehicle: a GPS receiving unit that is configured to receive GPS signals and to determine emergency vehicle location information of the first emergency vehicle as a result thereof; a transmitter unit that is configured to transmit the emergency vehicle location information by way of an emergency vehicle location signal that includes the emergency vehicle location information; a receiving unit that is configured to receive a signal from the second emergency vehicle that include information as to a current location of the second emergency vehicle; a controller that is configured to determine a latitude and longitude position of the first emergency vehicle based on the GPS signals, and to determine a latitude and longitude position of the second emergency vehicle based on the received signal output from the second emergency vehicle; and a map display that is provided on the first emergency vehicle and that is configured to display, on a map, a current location of the first emergency vehicle and the second emergency vehicle; and in the second emergency vehicle: a transmitter unit that is configured to transmit second emergency vehicle location information of the second emergency vehicle by way of a second emergency vehicle location signal that includes the second emergency vehicle location information. 6. The emergency vehicle alert system according to claim 5, wherein the first emergency vehicle is one of a police vehicle, a fire station vehicle, and a school bus. 7. The emergency vehicle alert system according to claim 5, further comprising: an audible warning unit that is configured to output an audible alarm within a passenger compartment of the first emergency vehicle when the signal output by the second emergency vehicle is received by the first emergency vehicle. 8. The emergency vehicle alert system according to claim 7, wherein the audible warning unit is configured to output computer-generated speech that provides information with respect to a particular street location and moving direction of the second emergency vehicle with respect to the first emergency vehicle. 9. An emergency vehicle alert system for a motor vehicle and an emergency vehicle, the system comprising: in the motor vehicle: a GPS receiving unit that is configured to receive GPS signals and to determine vehicle location information of the motor vehicle as a result thereof a receiver unit that is configured to receive an emergency vehicle location signal output by an emergency vehicle; and a map display that is provided on the motor vehicle and that is configured to display, on a map, a current location of the motor vehicle as provided by the vehicle location information as determined by the GPS receiving unit, and that is configured to display, on the map, a current location of the emergency vehicle as obtained from the emergency vehicle location signal received by the receiver unit when the receiver unit is in communication range with respect to the emergency vehicle; and in the emergency vehicle: a transmitter unit configured to transmit the emergency vehicle location signal based on location information received by the emergency vehicle. 10. The emergency vehicle alert system according to claim 9, wherein the emergency vehicle is one of a police vehicle, a fire station vehicle, and a school bus. 11. The emergency vehicle alert system according to claim 9, further comprising: an audible warning unit that is configured to output an audible alarm within a passenger compartment of the motor vehicle when the emergency vehicle location signal is received by the receiver unit. 12. The emergency vehicle alert system according to claim 9, wherein the audible warning unit is configured to output computer-generated speech that provides information with respect to a particular street location and moving direction of the emergency vehicle with respect to the motor vehicle. 13. An emergency vehicle alert system for providing information as to a location of an emergency vehicle to a motor vehicle, the system comprising: a first GPS receiver unit that is provided on the emergency vehicle and that is configured to receive GPS signals and to determine emergency vehicle location information of the emergency vehicle as a result thereof; a transmitter unit that is provided on the emergency vehicle and that is configured to transmit the emergency vehicle location information by way of an emergency vehicle location signal that includes the emergency vehicle location information; a second GPS receiver unit that is provided on the motor vehicle and that is configured to receive GPS signals and to determine vehicle location information of the motor vehicle as a result thereof; a receiver unit that is provided on the motor vehicle and that is configured to receive the emergency vehicle location signal output by the transmitter unit of the emergency vehicle; and a control unit, provided on the emergency vehicle, that is configured to cause the transmitter unit to transmit the emergency vehicle location signal at a signal strength dependent on a speed of the emergency vehicle, wherein the signal strength increases with an increase in the speed of the emergency vehicle. 14.
