We review some of the currently used techniques to detect stellar magnetic fields on cool stars. Emphasis is put on spectropolarimetry with high-resolution spectrographs and its related data de-noising techniques and multi-line inverse modeling. Detections and results from Zeeman splittings and broadenings are briefly mentioned. We discuss some of our most recent Zeeman Doppler Imaging (ZDI) results and present a comparison of ZDI maps of the K-type WTTS V410 Tauri and the planet-hosting F8 star HD 179949 with results from other groups.
