It's going to be pretty high, because gallium forms a +3 ion and nitrogen forms a -3. That, combined with the fact that they're fairly high up on the Periodic Table means a hefty LE, although not as high as aluminum nitride would be. But the LE would be well above alkali/alkaline halides and chalcides.

Exemples of properties: structure, cell dimensions, lattice energy.
The small sized ion with high charge has the high charge density and high attractive force towards opposite ion therefore strong bonds are formed and such ionic compound shows the high lattice energy.
It is a matter of lattice energy vs. heat of solution. The lattice energy is the energy change associated with the ions in the gas phase forming a solid (crystalline) lattice. It is typically an exothermic process, liberating energy. The heat of solution is the energy change associated with the ions being dissolved by solvent, and can be exothermic or endothermic. If the heat of solution is more exothermic than the lattice energy, than it is energetically favorable for the ionic compound to be solvated. If the lattice energy is more exothermic, than solvation will not occur.
The lattice energy of potassium bromide is more exothermic than the lattice energy of rubidium iodide because lattice energy is inversely proportional to atomic radius.
Ions release some amount of energy when they get together to form a lattice. If it is needed to be seperated into ions again, the same energy should be absorbed. The energy to break 1 mole of a lattice at the standard temperature and pressure is defined as the standard lattice energy. Using formulae, the lattice energy at any conditions can be found as the standard values are tabulated.

Ionic Charge and Ionic Radius - the smaller the radius the greater the lattice energy
Ionic Charge and Ionic Radius - the smaller the radius the greater the lattice energy
what role does lattice energy play in forming an ionic compound?
ionic charge and ionic radius; the smaller the ionic radius the greater the lattice energy
Cao or CaS have a higher lattice energy
The lattice energy for KCl is 715 kJ mol-1.
Lattice energy is directly related to the size of the ions bonded. Smaller ions generally have a more negative value for lattice energy because the nucleus is closer to and thus has more attraction for the valence electrons.
