Abstract
Large-scale magnetic fields in the Galactic disk have been revealed by distributions of pulsar rotation measures (RMs) and Zeeman splitting data of masers in star formation regions, which have several reversals in arm and interarm regions. Magnetic fields in the Galactic halo are reflected by the antisymmetric sky distribution of RMs of extragalactic radio sources, which have azimuthal structure with reversed directions below and above the Galactic plane. Large-scale magnetic fields in the Galactic center probably have a poloidal and toroidal structure.
