Full-disk vector magnetic field measurements of the Sun are now routinely carried out at National Solar Observatory, Tucson, USA, since the beginning of cycle 24. In order to understand the role of magnetic field in production of flares and coronal mass ejections (CMEs) as well as its evolution with 11 year solar cycle we need continuous uninterrupted measurements of solar magnetic field. Space based measurements by missions like SOHO/MDI and SDO/HMI have limited lifetime and are prone to non-repairable failures. Ground based measurements on the other hand have long lifetimes and can be easily repaired and maintained. I will describe the new fulldisk observations of the vector magnetic fields by SOLIS VSM at NSO and the new type of synoptic maps that are produced from these observations . I will also present few results from these measurements relevant to large scale patterns of magnetic fields and their helicity.
