Oh okay, that makes sense. I'll assume when you mean delete one you mean
the way point?

Remember that the alerts for a trun in a route mean that you should 
turn at the next opportunity, not that you should turn that instant. 
Think of it like the signs on a highway. They are placed prior to the 
actual street corner so the driver has time to slow down and make the 
turn. The double beep indicating a turn on the BrailleNote GPS tells 
you to start looking for the next available street.

The quality of the street map data can also impact the placement of 
the turning point. If you are traveling a route regularly and wish to 
move a turning point, delete it from the route and manually add one 
where you want it.
