fly over point you will fly over the way point then turn for example. A fly by point you will start the turn a little early and fly by the way point.

Well, since GOOGLE is apparently broken in your part of the world:

Instrument Procedures Handbook - Google Books

Waypoint - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

For an official source of information, this is where you can download a free version of the FAA instrument Flying Handbook:
