and about $(10 \pm 3)$ $\mu$G within 3 kpc from the Galactic center.]{}

-   [The strength of the local regular field is $(4 \pm 1)$ $\mu$G. This value is based on optical and synchrotron polarization measurements. Pulsar rotation measures give more conservative and approximately twice lower value. These rotation measures are probably underestimated due to anticorrelated fluctuations of regular field strength and of thermal electron intensity. On the other hand, optical and synchrotron polarization observations could be overestimated due to presence of anisotropic fields.]{}

-   [The local regular field may be a part of a Galactic magnetic spiral arm, which lies between the optical arms.]{}

-   [The global structure of the Galactic field remains uncertain. However, an established conservative model, which prevails in the last years, is the two-arm logarithmic spiral model (see below).]{}

-   [Existence of two reversals in the direction towards Galactic center was confirmed recently. The first reversal is lying between the Local and Sagittarius arm, at $\sim 0.6$ kpc from the Sun, the second one is lying at $\sim$ 3 kpc from the Sun. Some of the Galactic reversals may be due to large-scale anisotropic field loops.]{}
