Changes of the cosmic ray electron spectrum throughout the Galaxy have been found, based on the comparison of large-scale radio continuum surveys. These observations are not compatible with the assumption of a static Galactic halo, but indicate the existence of a Galactic wind. Galactic plane surveys reveal sources of cosmic ray electrons in the Galactic disk. Recent studies of the population of radio sources show no evidence for a large number of compact Galactic non-thermal sources. Most of the extended sources are probably HII-regions. Relatively few new supernova remnants (SNRs) with low surface brightness could be identified. Most of the non-thermal emission in the disk-halo interface seems diffuse or unresolved, even at arcmin angular resolution.
