English translation:such as overscaling and overreliance on the electronics

Explanation:
Thius appears at the linked document, at page 80:

"Knowledge of the limitations of the equipment and detection of misrepresentation of information is essential for the safe use of ECDIS. The following factors should be emphasized during training:
− performance standards of the equipment,
− radar data representation on an electronic chart, elimination of discrepancy between the radar image and the electronic chart,
− possible projection discrepancies between an electronic and paper charts,
− possible scale discrepancies (overscaling and underscaling) in displaying an electronic chart and its original scale,

Also found this example at http://www.ybw.com/forums/showthread.php?t=147462: "Even if one removes the possibility of the bad habit of overscaling vector charts (i.e. viewing them at a larger scale than the original data was drawn at) by looking at raster charts on a plotter system, such as on MaxSea, discontinuities at chart borders of different scales can still be seen."
