I use DOQ photos for the areas I work in, they have an X and Y axis that
shows as you scan the picture with the cursor. Is there any relation
between the readings on a GPS and the DOQ photos? Is there a translator?

I am behind the curve but find I need to have and learn GPS, and would like
to use my photo maps.

I'm not familar with DOQ but for any orthophoto I've used the X and Y are
the Northing and Easting. Quite straight forward to put them into a GPS.
Just set the GPS for UTM datum and not Lat/Long.

Thanks, now to see if I can make it work.
