Choose a coordinate ball W around q1​ and a smaller convex coordinate ball U whose closure lies in W. For q2​∈U, let a be the constant coordinate vector from q1​ to q2​. Choose a smooth bump function ρ supported in W and equal to one on U, and define in the chart
w=ρa,
(1)
extending it by zero outside W. This is a compactly supported smooth vector field. The segment q1​+ta stays in U, where w=a, so uniqueness for ordinary differential equations gives
Ψt(q1​)=q1​+ta,0≤t≤1.
(2)
In particular, Ψ1(q1​)=q2​.
