Ultra-high energy cosmic rays (UHECR)are deflected by magnetic fields during their propagation.Different theoretical parameterizations ofthe Galactic magnetic field are examined using anumerical tool which simulates their propagationthrough models of these fields. We constrain thepossible parameter space of the models by comparingdata on UHECR obtained with the Pierre AugerObservatory with the results of the simulations.
