Narrative:
On localizer approach ege. We followed all procedures appropriately. Non-GPS aircraft. Turning final with localizer captured; we noticed the seemingly usual map shift common in ege with non-GPS aircraft. I've been going in there all winter. It's become common. First officer and I discussed possibility of GPS warning and I reiterated my command that should we receive such a warning on final; since it was at night; we would go around. As we approached 7000 ft or so; we got a caution and; as we continued to try and maneuver on final; we received a warning. We went around and went to ZZZ1. This approach has become a danger in non-GPS aircraft. I am not a mission hacker. I go by the book. In my opinion; this approach should be flown by GPS aircraft only.
