After a brief historical summary of radio observations of spiral galaxies I review the methods of analyzing radio polarization data in view of the magnetic field. Special attention is drawn to the Faraday rotation and depolarization effects and to the identification of the large-scale magnetic field structure. The present observational results and open questions are discussed in terms of the predictions of the dynamo theory and prospects on future work are given.
