How accurate is this map?

I didn't know Finno-Ugrians populated the western part of Norway, I would think areas in mid Norway like Oppland would have more Finno-ugric contribution, In Heimskringla Snorri mentiones a Svåse Finnekonge(King of Finns) from Dovre in Oppland who's daughter Snøfrid Svåsesdotter, Harald Fairhair took as his wife.

On all Genetic tests western Norwegians cluster further west than eastern Norwegians, I doubt that would have been the case if the area was populated by Finno-Ugrian peoples, so the map seems a bit dubious to me, but I guess they could always have been pushed out by the encroaching Indo-Europeans.

Map looks like it was made using paint LOL.

Depens on the level of germanic settlement.

These early peoples followed cultural traditions similar to those practiced throughout other regions in the far north – areas including modern Finland, Russia, and across the Bering Strait into the northernmost strip of North America (comprising portions of today's Alaska and Canada).

Accurate for what period of time? No global ethnic map will be accurate for more than a century or so.

I have this history atlas and I've seen maps in there which show that the Finno-Ugrics were very close to the Skagerrak, if not next to it.

The map you've shown is from the Neolithic-Bronze Age transition period. The part of the 'Germanic' settlers (who originated from the area of Denmark and the surrounding North-Germany and South-Sweden) who migrated to the north (Mid- and West-Norway, rest of Sweden) did so not earlier as the Late Iron-Age and Roman Iron-Age period.
The more northern parts of Norway were only reached from the Viking Age onwards.
