I don't think that processor speed is an issue - any TTG will do it, using the Itinerary function available in software v5 onwards. However, no TTG will optimise the order of the drops - it will simply take you from point to point in the order in which you specify.
Are the drop points the same every night - or do they vary. If they're different each time, bear in mind that it will take a significant time to enter 150 visit locations into TTG. If they're always the same, you only have to enter them once, and you presumably already know the optimum order for the drops.

i could get 1 or more stop or start is there a option to skip to next address if 1 stops or add 1 if it starts. also would he be able to type in full postcode as he goes type full postcode of 1st drop then type in 2nd when he has done the 1st drop or would that take a long time thanks |

Sorry, I don't understand the first part of the question!
With regard to doing a drop at a time and then entering the postcode of the next drop, this is entirely feasible. He will, of course, need the latest GB map which includes the full 7-character postcode file - but this should come with all the new models anyway. I've just done an experiment, asking my TTG to navigate to a postcode about 6 miles away - and it took less than 30 seconds for me to enter the details and for it to display the route.
